It is the giving up all the former weary efforts to do or feel something good, in order to induce God to love and pardon; and the calm reception of the truth so long rejected, that God is not waiting for any such inducements, but loves and pardons of His own goodwill, and is showing that goodwill to any sinner who will come to Him on such a footing, casting away his own poor performances or goodnesses, and relying implicitly upon the free love of Him who so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  No indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  No indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No greater grief than to remember days Of joy when misery is at hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48798]]></link><description><![CDATA[No greater grief than to remember days Of joy when misery is at hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42919]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morning has broken like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.

Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word! Sweet the new rain's fall sunlit from heaven, Like the first dewfall on the first grass.

Praise with elation, praise every morning, God's re-creation of the new day!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The meteor flag of England. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16127]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meteor flag of England.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One takes a risk when one invites the Lord Whether to dine, or talk the afternoon Away, for always the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6475]]></link><description><![CDATA[One takes a risk when one invites the Lord Whether to dine, or talk the afternoon Away, for always the unexpected soon Turns up: a woman breaks her precious nard, A sinner does the task you should assume, A leper who is cleansed must show his proof: Suddenly you see your very roof remove And a cripple clutters up your living-room. There's no telling what to expect when Christ Walks in the door. The table set for four Must often be enlarged, and decorum Thrown to the winds. It's His voice that calls them, And it's no use to bolt and bar the door: His kingdom knows no bounds of roof, of wall or floor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no one honour me with tears, or bury me with lamentation. Why?
