Feelings are very delusive. They often depend on mere natural temperament, and the devil wrests them to our hurt. A glowing imagination is apt to seek itself rather than God. But if you are earnest in striving to serve and endure for God's sake, if you persevere amid temptation, dryness, weariness, and desolation, you may rest assured that your love is real.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must take personal responsibility.

It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28097]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prophecy, however honest, is generally a poor substitute for experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48439]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prophecy, however honest, is generally a poor substitute for experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd, and bloody religion that has ever infected the world ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6146]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd, and bloody religion that has ever infected the world]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is changing.

That hope alone explains the Book, giving meaning and consistency to its story. Was it a chimera, an hallucination? According to the prophecy of Micah, the messianic Shepherd of Israel had to be born in Bethlehem. It is unthinkable that an heir to the throne of David could be born in Bethlehem now, and be also able to prove his legitimacy by documentary evidence. The event must clearly have taken place already, or Micah is a false prophet, a raiser of false hopes, along with the other writers in the Old Testament.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lying lips are abomination to the Lord. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48640]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lying lips are abomination to the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bear and the FoxA bear boasted very much of his philanthropy, saying that of all animals he was the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1528]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Bear and the FoxA bear boasted very much of his philanthropy, saying that of all animals he was the most tender in his regard for man, for he had such respect for him that he would not even touch his dead body.
