And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is power; a smile is its sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darkness of slumber and death, forever sinking and sinking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Darkness of slumber and death, forever sinking and sinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God made not pleasures for the rich alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50231]]></link><description><![CDATA[God made not pleasures for the rich alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So smooth he daubed his vice with show of virtue That, his apparent open guilt omitted--  I mean, his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20238]]></link><description><![CDATA[So smooth he daubed his vice with show of virtue That, his apparent open guilt omitted--  I mean, his conversation with Shore's wife--   He lived from all attainder of suspects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's really good at moving people off the ball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42144]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's really good at moving people off the ball.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death always waits.

Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have suffered too much in this world not to hope for another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58221]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have suffered too much in this world not to hope for another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would like to begin to whittle away at lead time.

Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great innovators and original thinkers and artists attract the wrath of mediocrities as lightning rods draw the flashes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great innovators and original thinkers and artists attract the wrath of mediocrities as lightning rods draw the flashes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The name of the Slough was Despond. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12005]]></link><description><![CDATA[The name of the Slough was Despond.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My husband will never chase another woman.
