Sentimental tears over the happy, simple Christendom of their fathers are a thing of the past. They are proclaiming now their contempt for Christ's character, and their disgust at the very name of love. Scorn and hatred, difference and division, must be more than ever our lot, if we would be the followers of Christ in these days. Conventional religion and polite unbelief are gone forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But genius must be born, and never can be taught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17309]]></link><description><![CDATA[But genius must be born, and never can be taught.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am more spontaneous than my character... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35785]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am more spontaneous than my character...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out. -- Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15247]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out. -- Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not pleading with the Father, but expressing the Father's good pleasure is the key-note of true intercession.

Forgiveness is God's idea, God's desire; and it is He who appoints both the Judge and the Counsel for the Defense. It was He who inaugurated the priestly work, that men might receive His cleansing and turn to the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. God has provided for himself a Lamb. It is He who sends His Son to be our Elder Brother, and to incorporate us as adopted sons into the circle of His Fatherly love. So then it is the voice of His beloved Son which is most clearly heard by the Father in heaven. In that voice of intercession, all the voices of intercession are contained and heard. The Son is talking to the Father about us, and what He says is not Please but Yes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So much of this world is based on illusion, temporariness, and disposability that I think it's essential that our closest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35782]]></link><description><![CDATA[So much of this world is based on illusion, temporariness, and disposability that I think it's essential that our closest relationships reflect what is real.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all have strength enough to endure the misfortunes of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66036]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all have strength enough to endure the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think to the extent that it keeps them on their toes, it's a good thing.
