The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence is not all that important in the exercise of power, and is often, in point of fact, useless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence is not all that important in the exercise of power, and is often, in point of fact, useless.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greater absurdities are, the more strongly they evince the falsity of that supposition from whence they flow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34996]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greater absurdities are, the more strongly they evince the falsity of that supposition from whence they flow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First he wrought, and afterward he taught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25379]]></link><description><![CDATA[First he wrought, and afterward he taught.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In giving rights to others which belong to them, we give rights to ourselves and to our country ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8806]]></link><description><![CDATA[In giving rights to others which belong to them, we give rights to ourselves and to our country]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best.

Usually the workers themselves have had insufficient training for the job they are asked to perform. And always they work in a secularized culture, in the midst of spiritual illiteracy, where the most commonplace terms in the Bible and the most elemental ideas concerning the Kingdom of God sound strange even to otherwise well-educated adults.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You all know how difficult it is to operate with unanimity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41590]]></link><description><![CDATA[You all know how difficult it is to operate with unanimity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417  I saw full surely in this and in all, that ere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417  I saw full surely in this and in all, that ere God made us he loved us; which love never slackened, nor ever shall be.

"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45070]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like a glowworm golden, in a dell of dew, Scattering unbeholden its aerial blue  Among the flowers and grass ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like a glowworm golden, in a dell of dew, Scattering unbeholden its aerial blue  Among the flowers and grass which screen it from the view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The New Deal began, like the Salvation Army, by promising to save humanity.
