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[Never frown...even when you're sad you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never frown...even when you're sad you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To sell a bargain well is as cunning as fast and loose. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History does not always repeat itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64138]]></link><description><![CDATA[History does not always repeat itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call things by their right names - Glass of brandy and water!
