Utopias are the straws to which those cling who have no real hope; utopias are as unattractive as they are incredible, for those who know what real hope is. Utopias are not a consequence of true hope but a poor substitute for it and therefore a hindrance and not a help. The hope that is in Jesus Christ is different from all utopias of universal progress. It is based on the revelation of the crucified one. It is, therefore, not an uncertain speculation about the future but a certainty based upon what God has already revealed. One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without knowing for certain that God's victory over all powers of destruction, including death, is the end towards which the time process moves as its own end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13427]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance of his life to himself and to others.

He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and to talk by the hour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24300]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and to talk by the hour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time of the year ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time of the year]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those evening bells! those evening bells! How many a tale their music tells! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those evening bells! those evening bells! How many a tale their music tells!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  Although we ought always to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  Although we ought always to raise our minds upwards towards God, and pray without ceasing, yet such is our weakness, which requires to be supported, such our torpor, which requires to be stimulated, that it is requisite for us to appoint special hours for this exercise, hours which are not to pass away without prayer, and during which the whole affections of our minds are to be completely occupied; namely, when we rise in the morning, before we commence our daily work, when we sit down to food, when by the blessing of God we have taken it, and when we retire to rest. This, however, must not be a superstitious observance of hours, by which, as it were, performing a task to God, we think we are discharged as to other hours. It should rather be considered a discipline by which our weakness is exercised and stimulated.
