First behold thyself diligently in the law of God, and see there thy just damnation. Secondarily, turn thine eyes to Christ, and see there the exceeding mercy of thy most kind and loving Father. Thirdly, remember that Christ made not this atonement that thou shouldest anger God again; neither cleansed he thee, that thou shouldest return (as a swine) unto thine old puddle again: but that thou shouldest be a new creature and live a new life after the will of God and not of the flesh. And be diligent lest through thine own negligence and unthankfulness thou lose this favor and mercy again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The function of genius is to furnish cretins with ideas twenty years later. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41050]]></link><description><![CDATA[The function of genius is to furnish cretins with ideas twenty years later.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a good eye, uncle; I can see a church by day-light. -Much Ado about Nothing.

This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How could drops of water know themselves to be a river?
