And now I bear it and it is light unto me, because so hast Thou promised, and hast made it; and verily it was so, and I knew it not, when I feared to take it.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    October 10, 1999  Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644  Wilberforce, Lord Shaftesbury, and many other evangelicals, have been leaders in social reform, but it was not their religion. Their efforts succeeded because they put first things first, and believed firmly in the Word of God, in the conversion of the individual, in prayer, and in using spiritual means for spiritual work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8016]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Attempt the end and never stand to doubt; Nothing's so hard, but search will find it out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Attempt the end and never stand to doubt; Nothing's so hard, but search will find it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that anyone who comes upon a Nautilus machine suddenly will agree with me that its prototype was clearly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26176]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that anyone who comes upon a Nautilus machine suddenly will agree with me that its prototype was clearly invented at some time in history when torture was considered a reasonable alternative to diplomacy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Automakers are still cheap relative to their earnings outlook. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Automakers are still cheap relative to their earnings outlook.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[never let my right hand know what my left hand does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34583]]></link><description><![CDATA[never let my right hand know what my left hand does.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your goalie is hot and you keep it close anything can happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32866]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your goalie is hot and you keep it close anything can happen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To give up pretensions is as blessed a relief as to get them gratified. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48176]]></link><description><![CDATA[To give up pretensions is as blessed a relief as to get them gratified.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like watermen who look astern while they row the boat ahead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like watermen who look astern while they row the boat ahead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A strong nor'wester's blowing, Bill! Hark! don't ye hear it roar now?  Lord help 'em, how I pities them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44007]]></link><description><![CDATA[A strong nor'wester's blowing, Bill! Hark! don't ye hear it roar now?  Lord help 'em, how I pities them   Unhappy folks on shore now!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a child annoys you, quiet him by brushing his hair.

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you see is what you get.
