If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/847]]></link><description><![CDATA[The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The falcon and the dove sit there together, And th' one of them doth prune the other's feather. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15055]]></link><description><![CDATA[The falcon and the dove sit there together, And th' one of them doth prune the other's feather.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perseverance is the most overrated of traits, if it is unaccompanied by talent; beating your head against a wall is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perseverance is the most overrated of traits, if it is unaccompanied by talent; beating your head against a wall is more likely to produce a concussion in the head than a hole in the wall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none: for salvation, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12799]]></link><description><![CDATA[We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none: for salvation, but it is far off from us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As hard as modern man strives to be free he is a slave chained to the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47579]]></link><description><![CDATA[As hard as modern man strives to be free he is a slave chained to the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25372]]></link><description><![CDATA[I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was compelled to go to sea, voyage after voyage.

A. C. McGiffert, A History of Christian Thought  August 21, 2000   At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the secret sorrows of everyone could be read on their forehead, how many who now cause envy would suddenly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46374]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the secret sorrows of everyone could be read on their forehead, how many who now cause envy would suddenly become the objects of pity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Popularity is glory's small change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Popularity is glory's small change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's helpful that I was an athletic director (at Lutheran before John Ragland took over last year).
