As a consequence, they are less cautious. For, where the opinion has prevailed that all are lost who have not happened to be baptized with water, our condition is worse than that of God's ancient people -- as if the grace of God were now more restricted than under the Law!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its's really very simple, Governor.

It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3794]]></link><description><![CDATA[The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For death begins with life's first breathAnd life begins at touch of death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11315]]></link><description><![CDATA[For death begins with life's first breathAnd life begins at touch of death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Practice random beauty and senseless acts of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Practice random beauty and senseless acts of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they came to John Tyler they were really disappointed that they had to go there and they felt really ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29025]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they came to John Tyler they were really disappointed that they had to go there and they felt really unwanted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The punishment which the wise suffer, who refuse to take part in government, is to live under the government of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18060]]></link><description><![CDATA[The punishment which the wise suffer, who refuse to take part in government, is to live under the government of worse men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62717]]></link><description><![CDATA[Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, wisdom is not truth, truth is not beauty, beauty is not love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, wisdom is not truth, truth is not beauty, beauty is not love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The team played football today the way I like to see it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The team played football today the way I like to see it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all born charming, fresh, and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5766]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all born charming, fresh, and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black it stood as night, Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell,  And shook a dreadful dart; what seem'd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Black it stood as night, Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell,  And shook a dreadful dart; what seem'd his head   The likeness of a kingly crown had on.    Satan was now at hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing that I'd rather own than Windows is English, because then I could charge you two hundred and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9377]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing that I'd rather own than Windows is English, because then I could charge you two hundred and forty-nine dollars for the right to speak it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51120]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus! why dost Thou love me so?
