All too often, evangelicals are paper people. If we do not preach these things, talk about them to each other, and teach them carefully from the pulpit and in the Christian classroom, we cannot expect Christians so to act. This has always been important, but it is especially so today because we are surrounded by a world in which personality is increasingly eroded. If we, who have become God's children, do not show Him to be personal in our lives, then in practice we are denying His existence, and He cannot be anything but grieved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact is the ability to tell a man he has an open mind when he has a hole in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact is the ability to tell a man he has an open mind when he has a hole in his head]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25415]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46800]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In America, it is indispensable that every well wisher of true liberty should understand that acts of tyranny can only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47110]]></link><description><![CDATA[In America, it is indispensable that every well wisher of true liberty should understand that acts of tyranny can only proceed from the publick.

He hath many seekers of comfort, but few of tribulation. He findeth many companions of His table, but few of His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to undergo anything for His sake. Many follow Jesus that they may eat of His loaves, but few that they may drink of the cup of His passion. Many are astonished at His miracles, few follow after the shame of His Cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities happen to them. Many praise Him and bless Him, so long as they receive any comforts from Him. But if Jesus hide Himself and withdraw a little while, they fall either into complaining or into too great dejection of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A retentive memory is a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26979]]></link><description><![CDATA[A retentive memory is a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53229]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it were absolutely necessary to choose, I would rather be guilty of an immoral act than of a cruel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10806]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it were absolutely necessary to choose, I would rather be guilty of an immoral act than of a cruel one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much converse do I find in thee, Historian of my infancy!  Float near me; do not yet depart!  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much converse do I find in thee, Historian of my infancy!  Float near me; do not yet depart!   Dead times revive in thee:    Thou bring'st, gay creature as thou art!     A solemn image to my heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When ideas fail, words come in very handy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20286]]></link><description><![CDATA[When ideas fail, words come in very handy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10624]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blond in a red dress can do without introductions --but not without a bodyguard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17517]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blond in a red dress can do without introductions --but not without a bodyguard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity of travelling across this country and enduring all the classic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29851]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity of travelling across this country and enduring all the classic situations that go with talking to people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're exploiting the s--- out of Comic-Con.
