Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. 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 realized 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. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's nothing gratuitous about my films. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32683]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's nothing gratuitous about my films.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man always has two reasons for doing anything--a good reason and the real reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53133]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man always has two reasons for doing anything--a good reason and the real reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.

For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May I now pass on to this Congress advice which I received recently from a fellow Vermonter - Either impeach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36600]]></link><description><![CDATA[May I now pass on to this Congress advice which I received recently from a fellow Vermonter - Either impeach him or get off his back]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A writer is, after all, only half his book.
