But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get into the best society nowadays, one has either to feed people, amuse people, or shock people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57054]]></link><description><![CDATA[To get into the best society nowadays, one has either to feed people, amuse people, or shock people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25756]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody to love you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is apparently no surer way of turning a thing into its opposite than by exaggerating it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45136]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is apparently no surer way of turning a thing into its opposite than by exaggerating it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is troubled not by events, but by the meaning he gives them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is troubled not by events, but by the meaning he gives them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It gets to seem as if way back in the Garden of Eden after the Fall, Adam and Eve had ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33603]]></link><description><![CDATA[It gets to seem as if way back in the Garden of Eden after the Fall, Adam and Eve had begged the Lord to forgive them and He, in his boundless exasperation, had said, ''All right, then.
