It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take all the swift advantage of the hours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take all the swift advantage of the hours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue.

But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Until we meet again, may the good Lord take a liking to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53317]]></link><description><![CDATA[Until we meet again, may the good Lord take a liking to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It went very well.
