Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ages elapsed ere Homer's lamp appeared, And ages ere the Mantuan Swan was heard;  To carry nature lengths unknown ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ages elapsed ere Homer's lamp appeared, And ages ere the Mantuan Swan was heard;  To carry nature lengths unknown before,   To give a Milton birth, asked ages more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66134]]></link><description><![CDATA[God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God help the man who won't marry until he finds a perfect woman, and God help him still more if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27126]]></link><description><![CDATA[God help the man who won't marry until he finds a perfect woman, and God help him still more if he finds her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11453]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft as Memnon's harp at morning, To the inward ear devout,  Touched by light, with heavenly warning   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft as Memnon's harp at morning, To the inward ear devout,  Touched by light, with heavenly warning   Your transporting chords ring out.    Every leaf in every nook,     Every wave in every brook,      Chanting with a solemn voice       Minds us of our better choice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15423]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A careless shoe string, in whose tie I see a wilde civility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56213]]></link><description><![CDATA[A careless shoe string, in whose tie I see a wilde civility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the operation has been successful, so it is going to be two or three weeks before he is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30674]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the operation has been successful, so it is going to be two or three weeks before he is fit and available for selection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather have five energetic and competent enemies than one fool friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9200]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather have five energetic and competent enemies than one fool friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a great honor for our school.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why many fail-because they don't get started-they don't go.
