It has taught parents that to bring children into the world is not a horrible crime. It has led them to see Christ and His redemption of humanity through all the mists of our teachings and our qualifications. It has explained the nature of His Kingdom to the hearts even of the poorest.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skills are cheap; chemistry is expensive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21956]]></link><description><![CDATA[Skills are cheap; chemistry is expensive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is folly to fear what cannot be avoided. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51620]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is folly to fear what cannot be avoided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too late is tomorrow's life; live for today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too late is tomorrow's life; live for today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So much to do, so little done, such things to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/382]]></link><description><![CDATA[So much to do, so little done, such things to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am verily a man which am a Jew, born is Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13389]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am verily a man which am a Jew, born is Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You get a certain amount of cachet.

How many inventions are some people forced to have recourse to in order to keep off a certain inward uneasiness, which they are afraid of and know not whence it comes? Alas, it is because there is a fallen spirit, a dark, aching fire, within them, which has never had its proper relief and is trying to discover itself and calling out for help at every cessation of worldly joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change is the end result of all true learning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change is the end result of all true learning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocrity is excellent to the eyes of mediocre people ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocrity is excellent to the eyes of mediocre people]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42877]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Petroc, Abbot of Padstow, 6th century  Wherever the missionary character of the doctrine of election is forgotten; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Petroc, Abbot of Padstow, 6th century  Wherever the missionary character of the doctrine of election is forgotten; wherever it is forgotten that we are chosen in order to be sent; wherever the minds of believers are concerned more to probe backwards from their election into the reasons for it in the secret counsel of God, than to press forward from their election to the purpose of it, ... that they should be Christ's ambassadors and witnesses to the ends of the earth, wherever men think that the purpose of election is their own salvation rather than the salvation of the world: then God's people have betrayed their trust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all!

In that very chapter [Romans 7] where he asserts most strongly our inability to keep the moral law he also asserts most confidently that we perceive the Law's goodness and rejoice in it according to the inward man. Our righteousness may be filthy and ragged; but Christianity gives us no ground for holding that our perceptions of right are in the same condition. They may, no doubt, be impaired; but there is a difference between imperfect sight and blindness. A theology which goes about to represent our practical reason as radically unsound is heading for disaster. If we once admit that what God means by "goodness" is sheerly different from what we judge to be good, there is no difference left between pure religion and devil worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hippies are lots of fun, as long as they are not involved in commerce. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hippies are lots of fun, as long as they are not involved in commerce.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vain?
