Dr. [Thomas] Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best.But, since there's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22358]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best.But, since there's no real market for masturbation I had to fall back onmy bass playing abilities.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One day soon the Gillette company will announce the development of a razor that, thanks to a computer microchip, can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58811]]></link><description><![CDATA[One day soon the Gillette company will announce the development of a razor that, thanks to a computer microchip, can actually travel ahead in time and shave beard hairs that don't even exist yet]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Should our moral beliefs really prove to be dependent on factual assumptions shown to be incorrect, it would be hardly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Should our moral beliefs really prove to be dependent on factual assumptions shown to be incorrect, it would be hardly moral to defend them by refusing to acknowledge the facts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the waiting time, my brothers, Is the hardest time of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45717]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the waiting time, my brothers, Is the hardest time of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy is a study that lets us be unhappy more intelligently. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophy is a study that lets us be unhappy more intelligently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The driver (of the Mobil truck) was soaked in gas, ...

There do I dwell, in weakness and in power;  Not broken or divided, saith our God!  In your strait garden plot I come to flowers  About your porch My Vine,  Meek, fruitful, doth entwine;  Waits, at the threshold, Love's appointed hour. I come in the little things, Saith the Lord: Yea! on the glancing wings Of eager birds, the softly pattering feet Of furred and gentle beasts, I come to meet Your hear and wayward heart. In brown bright eyes That peep from out the brake, I stand confest. On every nest Where feathery Patience is content to brood And leaves her pleasure for the high emprize Of motherhood -- There doth My Godhead rest. I come in the little things,  Saith the Lord:  My starry wings I do forsake,  Love's highway of humility to take:  Meekly I fit my stature to your need.  In beggar's part  About your gates I shall not cease to plead -- As man, to speak with man -- Till by such art  I shall achieve My Immemorial Plan,  Pass the low lintel of the human heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say, best men are moulded out of faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51397]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say, best men are moulded out of faults.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9306]]></link><description><![CDATA[People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle.
