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[Sleep is a death, O make me try, By sleeping, what it is to die:  And as gently lay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56620]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sleep is a death, O make me try, By sleeping, what it is to die:  And as gently lay my head   On my grave, as now my bed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some mature birds that have short beards from a lack of melanin that makes the beard weak and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37110]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some mature birds that have short beards from a lack of melanin that makes the beard weak and it will break.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Up front, the quarter was fantastic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Up front, the quarter was fantastic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38448</guid></item></channel></rss>
