Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A rich man is either a scoundrel or the heir of a scoundrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61446]]></link><description><![CDATA[A rich man is either a scoundrel or the heir of a scoundrel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe some of my quest for success comes from Joan of Arc but there's no conscious part of Catholicism in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maybe some of my quest for success comes from Joan of Arc but there's no conscious part of Catholicism in my life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had a terrible stammering problem when I was young, and as a result I spent a lot of time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65396]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had a terrible stammering problem when I was young, and as a result I spent a lot of time alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They build their team around that ballpark and they always have great pitching.
