We are shaped by people we have never met. Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasure—the way art is, or music is, or poetry is. And it's never stale."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou didst swear to me upon a parcel-gilt goblet, sitting in my Dolphin-chamber, at the round table, by a sea-coal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou didst swear to me upon a parcel-gilt goblet, sitting in my Dolphin-chamber, at the round table, by a sea-coal fire, upon Wednesday in Wheeson week. -King Henry IV.

It was unkind to speak to men like this, for such a cheap offer could only leave them bewildered and tempt them from the way to which they had been called by Christ. Having laid hold on cheap grace, they were barred forever from the knowledge of costly grace. Deceived and weakened, men felt that they were strong now that they were in possession of this cheap grace -- whereas they had in fact lost the power to live the life of discipleship and obedience. The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Teacher, 397  It is a great mystery of divine love, that not even ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Teacher, 397  It is a great mystery of divine love, that not even in Christ was exception made of the death of the body; and although He was the Lord of nature, He refused not the law of the flesh which He had taken upon Him.
