For to seek for eminence and significancy in grace is but like seeking for eminence and significancy in nature. And the old man can relish glory and distinction in religion as well as in common life, and will be content to undergo as many labours, pains, and self-denials for the sake of religious, as for the sake of secular glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[because the hole is down in the ground, not up in the air.

For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45185]]></link><description><![CDATA[An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. . .

But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47247]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691  If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691  If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker; lest in these things which please thee, thou displease.
