But this inward work of God, though never ceasing or altering, is yet always and only hindered by the activity of our own nature and faculties, by bad men through their obedience to earthly passions and by good men through their striving to be good in their own way, by their natural strength and a multiplicity of holy labours and contrivances. Both these sorts of people obstruct the work of God upon their souls. For we can cooperate with God no other way than by submitting to the work of God, and seeking, and leaving ourselves to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a decision that will bring hope to millions of Americans.

No thoughtful person gives up a position merely because he finds difficulties in it; he does not abandon it until he is able to find other and alternative systems with fewer difficulties... I learned from my professors of philosophy... that, while philosophy might not provide me with a watertight intellectual defense of the Christian faith, it would, if used aright, help me to reveal the weakness of its enemies. By careful analysis it is possible to see that there are glaring weaknesses and non-sequiturs in atheism, naturalism, positivism, scientism, and psychologism. The Christian must be a fighter, for he is always under attack. The Church will not be as strong as it ought to be until each local pastor uses his precious freedom from outside employment in order to become a scholarly participant in the intellectual struggle of our day and generation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope will lie to you, but lust is what it is; it never lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope will lie to you, but lust is what it is; it never lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to be able to react to negatives as well as positives.

When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.  And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.

Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bart is a tremendously talented individual with an exceptional intellect, coupled with a strong work ethic and a healthy dollop ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bart is a tremendously talented individual with an exceptional intellect, coupled with a strong work ethic and a healthy dollop of grounded common sense.
