But the little mark on the soul may be much the same in both. Each has done something to himself which, unless he repents, will make it harder for him to keep out of the rage the next time he is tempted, and will make the rage worse when he does fall into it. Each of them, if he seriously turns to God, can have that twist in the central man straightened out again: each is, in the long run, doomed if he will not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66826]]></link><description><![CDATA[What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are concerned that for the United States, the key issue is oil; second, the war on terrorism; and only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30894]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are concerned that for the United States, the key issue is oil; second, the war on terrorism; and only third, democracy and human rights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God does not treat us as our sins deserve, man treats us as our sins deserve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44323]]></link><description><![CDATA[God does not treat us as our sins deserve, man treats us as our sins deserve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They played well.

I do not mean to say that Christ is not mentioned as the author of all good, but that stress is laid on the believing rather than on the object of belief, on the comfort and persuasiveness of the doctrine than on the doctrine itself. And in this way religion is made to consist of contemplating ourselves, instead of Christ; not simply in looking to Christ, but in seeing that we look to Christ; not in His divinity and atonement, but in our conversion and faith in Him...
