But this inward work of God, though never ceasing or altering, is yet always and only hindered by the activity of our own nature and faculties, by bad men through their obedience to earthly passions and by good men through their striving to be good in their own way, by their natural strength and a multiplicity of holy labours and contrivances. Both these sorts of people obstruct the work of God upon their souls. For we can cooperate with God no other way than by submitting to the work of God, and seeking, and leaving ourselves to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Responsibility is the price of freedom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65249]]></link><description><![CDATA[Responsibility is the price of freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19003]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man has a limited biological capacity for change.

Study the advertisements in any popular magazine: people are "invited to apply for membership"; "members will receive a catalogue"; they are even offered "rules", which they gladly accept because the need for authority lies heavily upon them; they then receive a card admitting them to the circle, with the "President's signature" printed on it. In the need for belonging, the acknowledgement of dependence, may lie the greatest opportunity of the Christian evangelist. It is not unlike the conditions under which the early Church worked. In the later Roman Empire, crumbling under its own size, its communications and resources stretched to the utmost, the mystery-religions came into their own. Rites of initiation, the sharing of secret knowledge, offered to people of all classes an escape from the perplexities of life, a retreat into a closed circle of the elect where they might feel that their transformed personalities had some significance. Who can know how many weary souls there were who strayed into the Church through rumours of a secret rite of purification, of a shared meal that conferred wisdom, and who remained to comprehend the fullness of the Godhead, a belonging greater than they had ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that not to be happy is not to be grateful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that not to be happy is not to be grateful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am bound to furnish my antagonists with arguments, but not with comprehension. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3044]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am bound to furnish my antagonists with arguments, but not with comprehension.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So many people walk around with a meaningless life.
