The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greater the kindred is, the lesse the kindnesse must bee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23756]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greater the kindred is, the lesse the kindnesse must bee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The paths of glory at least lead to the grave, but the paths of duty may not get you any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65910]]></link><description><![CDATA[The paths of glory at least lead to the grave, but the paths of duty may not get you any where.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/988]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think there's very much difference between Murray State, which is picked to win, and Morehead State [which is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32297]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think there's very much difference between Murray State, which is picked to win, and Morehead State [which is picked last].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sure we play rough, they said, but look what others do to us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sure we play rough, they said, but look what others do to us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to see where the jobs land and where jobs open. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32368]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to see where the jobs land and where jobs open.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are April when they woo, December when they wed: maids are May when they are maids, but the sky ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are April when they woo, December when they wed: maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives. -As You Like It.
