The cross on Golgotha Will never save thy soul; The cross in thy own heart Alone can make thee whole.   ... anonymous, 3rd century  December 29, 2002 Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170   The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65358]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Matt's just been a horse for us throughout the second half of the season. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33249]]></link><description><![CDATA[Matt's just been a horse for us throughout the second half of the season.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Original thoughts can be understood only in virtue of the unoriginal elements which they contain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Original thoughts can be understood only in virtue of the unoriginal elements which they contain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to hatch ideas -- and then hitch them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9500]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to hatch ideas -- and then hitch them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fond man! the vision of a moment made! Dream of a dream! and shadow of a shade! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fond man! the vision of a moment made! Dream of a dream! and shadow of a shade!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't listen to people who tell you what to do!

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a species of coquetry to make a parade of never practising it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10169]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a species of coquetry to make a parade of never practising it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like champagne.

Work and worship literally become one. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever; and man carries out that function when he does what God sent him into the world to do. Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truly noble mind has no resentments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48944]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truly noble mind has no resentments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People make one happy, not houses?
