Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheryl Treadwell is our angel, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheryl Treadwell is our angel,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I drank some boiling water because I wanted to whistle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64790]]></link><description><![CDATA[I drank some boiling water because I wanted to whistle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The building of a perfect body crowned by a perfect brain, is at once the greatest earthly problem and grandest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18943]]></link><description><![CDATA[The building of a perfect body crowned by a perfect brain, is at once the greatest earthly problem and grandest hope of the race.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some dried off better than others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some dried off better than others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The politicians don't just want your money.
