It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pleasure long expected is deare enough sold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49069]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pleasure long expected is deare enough sold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any alleged Christianity which fails to express itself in cheerfulness, at some point, is clearly spurious.

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
