He trusts his own visions. He obeys the attractions of an interior voice but will not listen to other men. He identifies the will of God with anything that makes him feel, within his own heart, a big, warm, sweet interior glow. The sweeter and the warmer the feeling is, the more he is convinced of his own infallibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A vest as admired Voltiger had on, Which from this Island's foes his grandsire won,  Whose artful colour pass'd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2740]]></link><description><![CDATA[A vest as admired Voltiger had on, Which from this Island's foes his grandsire won,  Whose artful colour pass'd the Tyrian dye,   Obliged to triumph in this legacy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live each day the fullest you can, not guaranteeing there'll be a tomorrow, not dwelling endlessly on yesterday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live each day the fullest you can, not guaranteeing there'll be a tomorrow, not dwelling endlessly on yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever, therefore, is foolish, ridiculous, vain, or earthly, or sensual, in the life of a Christian is something that ought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever, therefore, is foolish, ridiculous, vain, or earthly, or sensual, in the life of a Christian is something that ought not to be there; it is a spot and a defilement that must be washed away with tears of repentance. But if anything of this kind runs all through the course of our life, if we allow ourselves in things that are either vain, foolish, or sensual, we renounce our profession. For as sure as Jesus Christ was wisdom and holiness, as sure as He came to make us like Himself and to be baptized into His Spirit, so sure is it that none can be said to keep to their Christian profession but they who, to the utmost of their power, live a wise and holy and heavenly life. This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we mixed up our defensive scheme a lot.

He is the Spirit of life, both now and hereafter (Gal. 6:8; I Cor. 15:45); and the Spirit of assurance, the guarantee of the new life, whereby man obtains confidence towards God and courage in the face of the world's evil (II Cor. 1:22; Rom. 5:5, 8:16, 23; Eph. 1:13, 4:30). Man, therefore, as the dwelling-place of the Spirit, is the inalienable possession of God (I Cor. 3:16, 17, 6:19).
