And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica April 14, 1996  This was the fullness of time, when Christ Jesus did come, that the Messiah should come. It was so to the Jews, and it was so to the Gentiles too... Christ hath excommunicated no nation, no shire, no house, no man; He gives none of His ministers leave to say to any man, thou art not redeemed; He gives no wounded or afflicted conscience leave to say to itself, I am not redeemed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  It was not the pleasant things in the world that came ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  It was not the pleasant things in the world that came from the devil, and the dreary things from God! It was "sin brought death into the world and all our woe"; as the sin vanishes the woe will vanish too. God Himself is the ever-blessed God. He dwells in the light of joy as well as of purity, and instead of becoming more like Him as we become more miserable, and as all the brightness and glory of life are extinguished, we become more like God as our blessedness becomes more complete. The great Christian graces are radiant with happiness. Faith, hope, charity, there is no sadness in them; and if penitence makes the heart sad, penitence belongs to the sinner, not to the saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Prussian Sovereigns are in possession of a crown not be the grace of the people, but by God's grace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54447]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Prussian Sovereigns are in possession of a crown not be the grace of the people, but by God's grace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The short-lived self, teetering on the edge of extinction, is the only thing that can ever really matter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52359]]></link><description><![CDATA[The short-lived self, teetering on the edge of extinction, is the only thing that can ever really matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver. [Fr., Car c'est double plaisir de tromper le trompeur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11533]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver. [Fr., Car c'est double plaisir de tromper le trompeur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550   To be prayerless is to be without God, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550   To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now Heaven and Earth are older than the temples, and older than the Scriptures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now Heaven and Earth are older than the temples, and older than the Scriptures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Till the rose's lips grow pale With her sighs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54439]]></link><description><![CDATA[Till the rose's lips grow pale With her sighs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money never starts an idea; it is the idea that starts the money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money never starts an idea; it is the idea that starts the money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hoarseness caused by swallowing gold and silver. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4901]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hoarseness caused by swallowing gold and silver.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gospel is not presented to mankind as an argument about religious principles.
