This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The principle of procrastinated rape is said to be the ruling one in all the great bestsellers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4674]]></link><description><![CDATA[The principle of procrastinated rape is said to be the ruling one in all the great bestsellers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one who repeats it adds something to the scandal.

Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24466]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never wonder to see men wicked, but I often wonder to see them not ashamed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56149]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never wonder to see men wicked, but I often wonder to see them not ashamed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The principles we live by, in business and in social life, are the most important part of happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The principles we live by, in business and in social life, are the most important part of happiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like giving birth to a kindergartener, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40182]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's like giving birth to a kindergartener,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the quality of our inner lives I do not mean something characterized by ferocious intensity and strain.

What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . I rarely draw what I see.
