Dr. [Thomas] Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black

Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Financial services are not excluded; they are simply not yet included. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Financial services are not excluded; they are simply not yet included.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes you see a person, and you wonder why you don't spend more time with that person, because they're like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53267]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes you see a person, and you wonder why you don't spend more time with that person, because they're like one of your favorite people.

Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23381</guid></item></channel></rss>
