Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For man, maximum excitement is the confrontation of death and the skillful defiance of it by watching others fed to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65621]]></link><description><![CDATA[For man, maximum excitement is the confrontation of death and the skillful defiance of it by watching others fed to it as he survives transfixed with rapture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/73]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/73</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The war is history, the Iran-Iraq borders should turn into borders of peace and friendship, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41295]]></link><description><![CDATA[The war is history, the Iran-Iraq borders should turn into borders of peace and friendship,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11745]]></link><description><![CDATA[To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yeah, definitely.
