It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many people died from no water and no food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many people died from no water and no food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66914]]></link><description><![CDATA[All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among the crooked lanes, on every hedge, The glow-worm lights his gem; and through the dark,  A moving radiance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among the crooked lanes, on every hedge, The glow-worm lights his gem; and through the dark,  A moving radiance twinkles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want everybody to be one of the top players in the league, and it's not out of the realm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35492]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want everybody to be one of the top players in the league, and it's not out of the realm of possibly to do that.

Grieving over his loss, the Father resolved to kill the Snake. The next day, when it came out of its hole for food, he took up his axe, but by swinging too hastily, missed its head and cut off only the end of its tail. After some time the Cottager, afraid that the Snake would bite him also, endeavored to make peace, and placed some bread and salt in the hole. The Snake, slightly hissing, said: There can henceforth be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son. No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To give a reason for anything is to breed a doubt of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53116]]></link><description><![CDATA[To give a reason for anything is to breed a doubt of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doesn't matter what a person's name is as long as he behaves himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doesn't matter what a person's name is as long as he behaves himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future works out great men's destinies; The present is enough for common souls,  Who, never looking forward, are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12068]]></link><description><![CDATA[The future works out great men's destinies; The present is enough for common souls,  Who, never looking forward, are indeed   Mere clay wherein the footprints of their age    Are petrified forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  If indeed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7726]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  If indeed there had been anything better and more profitable to the health of men than to suffer, Christ would surely have shown it by word and example.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love you smile at me, I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near....I believe this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53261]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love you smile at me, I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near....I believe this is heaven to no one else but me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The King has become a failure in his mission for which he had assumed power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41279]]></link><description><![CDATA[The King has become a failure in his mission for which he had assumed power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a real body; there can be no doubt about that.

Hundreds of people could not have been so mistaken, especially when Jesus offered clear evidence of it. But it was not an earthbound body. It was something that bore a developmental relationship to an earthly human body, but it was not identical with it. There was clearly a continuity of life between the body of Jesus and the body of the resurrected Jesus, but in the process of resurrection it had undergone a very fundamental change. That, at least, seems obvious. So much for the list of dissimilarities; the body of Jesus after the resurrection had a different appearance and also a different "form". It was "like" the previous body, it had some sort of developmental relationship to it, but it was obviously not "identical" with it. Now we must consider the similarities. Strangely, they all came down to one factor, but that factor is so important that it outweighs all the dissimilarities. It is simply this: Jesus before and after the resurrection was undeniably the same person. No matter what extraordinary changes had taken place in his bodily form, all who knew him well had no doubt at all who he was. They "knew" it was the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice.

What it did was to guarantee that the old morality was actually valid, and the old beliefs literally true. "Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some artists claim praise is irrelevant in measuring the success of art, but I think it's quite relevant.
