"Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love you, but I love myself more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59908]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love you, but I love myself more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank God for poverty That makes and keeps us free,  And lets us go our unobtrusive way,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thank God for poverty That makes and keeps us free,  And lets us go our unobtrusive way,   Glad of the sun and rain,    Upright, serene, humane,     Contented with the fortune of a day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are fagots and fagots. [Fr., Il y a fagots et fagots.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9162]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are fagots and fagots. [Fr., Il y a fagots et fagots.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keepe good men company, and you shall be of the number. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keepe good men company, and you shall be of the number.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My only regret in the theatre is that I could never sit out front and watch me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/414]]></link><description><![CDATA[My only regret in the theatre is that I could never sit out front and watch me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In indolent vacuity of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59213]]></link><description><![CDATA[In indolent vacuity of thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ful wys is he that can himselven knowe!
