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[To ridicule philosophy is truly philosophical. [Fr., Se moquer de la philosophie c'est vraiment philosophe.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46494]]></link><description><![CDATA[To ridicule philosophy is truly philosophical. [Fr., Se moquer de la philosophie c'est vraiment philosophe.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[America is not only big and rich, it is mysterious; and its capacity for the humorous or ironical concealment of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22149]]></link><description><![CDATA[America is not only big and rich, it is mysterious; and its capacity for the humorous or ironical concealment of its interests matches that of the legendary inscrutable Chinese. - The Lonely Crowd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gondola of London [A hansom]. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25408]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gondola of London [A hansom].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had no further intercourse with Spirits, but lived upon the Total Abstinence Principle, ever afterwards; and it was always ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/189]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had no further intercourse with Spirits, but lived upon the Total Abstinence Principle, ever afterwards; and it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that we may safely trust a good deal more than we do.
