And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, Hast thou more of pain or pleasure!  . . . .   Endless torments ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, Hast thou more of pain or pleasure!  . . . .   Endless torments dwell above thee:    Yet who would live, and live without thee!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New York has all that intense hatred and pain-just torture-where everything is 10 times as hard as it needs to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30132]]></link><description><![CDATA[New York has all that intense hatred and pain-just torture-where everything is 10 times as hard as it needs to be, and everything is terribly important.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He thinks posterity is a pack-horse, always ready to be loaded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47838]]></link><description><![CDATA[He thinks posterity is a pack-horse, always ready to be loaded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune favors the brave. [Lat., Fors juvat audentes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune favors the brave. [Lat., Fors juvat audentes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say not always what you know, but always know what you say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every epigram should resemble a bee; it should have sting, honey, and brevity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50618]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every epigram should resemble a bee; it should have sting, honey, and brevity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accustomed to the veneer of noise, to the shibboleths of promotion, public relations, and market research, society is suspicious of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accustomed to the veneer of noise, to the shibboleths of promotion, public relations, and market research, society is suspicious of those who value silence.
