Redemption is inconceivable without truth and holiness. But the mere fact that the Holy Spirit's first recorded action in the gospels is an expression of redeeming love should cause us to suspect a teaching which represents His work as primarily, if not solely, the sanctification of our own souls to the practical exclusion of His activity in us towards others. It is important to teach of Him as the Spirit of holiness; it is also important to teach of Him as the Spirit which in us labours for the salvation of men everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just an hour with you, and I understand why we had to meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just an hour with you, and I understand why we had to meet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave in concealment what has long been concealed. [Lat., Latere semper patere, quod latuit diu.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leave in concealment what has long been concealed. [Lat., Latere semper patere, quod latuit diu.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where ambition can cover its enterprises, even to the person himself, under the appearance of principle, it is the most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where ambition can cover its enterprises, even to the person himself, under the appearance of principle, it is the most incurable and inflexible of passions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone can see a forest fire.

Life has no otherdiscipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept lifeunquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run awayfrom, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in theend. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one forhim who has the vision to recognize it as such.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best biographies leave their readers with a sense of having all but entered into a second life and of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4216]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best biographies leave their readers with a sense of having all but entered into a second life and of having come to know another human being in some ways better than he knew himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks  A various language. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43794]]></link><description><![CDATA[To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks  A various language.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let an ill man lie in thy straw, and he looks to be thy heire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49595]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let an ill man lie in thy straw, and he looks to be thy heire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes a lot of things to prove you are smart, but only one thing to prove you are ignorant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63211]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes a lot of things to prove you are smart, but only one thing to prove you are ignorant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690 If I lay waste and wither up with doubt The blessed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690 If I lay waste and wither up with doubt The blessed fields of heaven where once my Faith possessed itself serenely safe from death; If I deny things past finding out; Or if I orphan my own soul from One That seemed a Father, and make void the place Within me where He dwelt in Power and Grace, What do I gain by what I have undone?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books are humanity in print. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books are humanity in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915  I compare the troubles which we have to undergo in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915  I compare the troubles which we have to undergo in the course of the year to a great bundle of fagots, far too large for us to lift. But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. He mercifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are to carry today, and then another, which we are to carry tomorrow, and so on. This we might easily manage, if we would only take the burden appointed for each day; but we choose to increase our troubles by carrying yesterday's stick over again today, and adding tomorrow's burden to the load, before we are required to bear it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In (the) tsunami-affected region, we are trying to do that, to say 'This is an opportunity to go about things ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41517]]></link><description><![CDATA[In (the) tsunami-affected region, we are trying to do that, to say 'This is an opportunity to go about things the right way and take the time to do it right,']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity.

The purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms, wine is in order to wine: things are precious before they are contributory. It is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. To be sure, God remains the greatest good; but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Higher fuel and energy prices have hit purchasing power, amid a high inflation rate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Higher fuel and energy prices have hit purchasing power, amid a high inflation rate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody has a personal bias.
