But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds.

Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The practice of putting women on pedestals began to die out when it was discovered that they could give orders ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4037]]></link><description><![CDATA[The practice of putting women on pedestals began to die out when it was discovered that they could give orders better from there]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moon rocks are OK when everyone is eating. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moon rocks are OK when everyone is eating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he's had his family with him during this time.
