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 April 14, 1996  This was the fullness of time, when Christ Jesus did come, that the Messiah should come. It was so to the Jews, and it was so to the Gentiles too... Christ hath excommunicated no nation, no shire, no house, no man; He gives none of His ministers leave to say to any man, thou art not redeemed; He gives no wounded or afflicted conscience leave to say to itself, I am not redeemed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In times of stress and strain, people will vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60975]]></link><description><![CDATA[In times of stress and strain, people will vote.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Compromise is never anything but an ignoble truce between the duty of a man and the terror of a coward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Compromise is never anything but an ignoble truce between the duty of a man and the terror of a coward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are always two choices.

But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Use it or lose it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Use it or lose it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They came together and talked to each other, played very smart.

From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,  Much pleasure, then from thee much more, must flow,  And soonest our best men with thee do go,  Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,  And poppy, or charms, can make us sleep as well,  And better than thy stroke.

One short sleep past, we wake eternally,  And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw.
