They do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking where they should be listening. But he who can no longer listen to his brother will soon be no longer listening to God, either; he will be doing nothing but prattle in the presence of God, too. This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life, and in the end there will be nothing left but spiritual chatter and clerical condescension arrayed in pious words ... never really speaking to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in grumbling; it is the politest form of fighting known. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1246]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in grumbling; it is the politest form of fighting known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To tame the proud, the fetter'd slave to free, These are imperial arts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48952]]></link><description><![CDATA[To tame the proud, the fetter'd slave to free, These are imperial arts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Me and James communicated prior to the play.

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[The love of a family is life's greatest blessing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15152]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of a family is life's greatest blessing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The darkest hour of a man's life is when he sits down to plan how toget money without earning it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22047]]></link><description><![CDATA[The darkest hour of a man's life is when he sits down to plan how toget money without earning it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frank is definitely not a keeping-the-seat-warm kind of figure.
