For no sooner is the finite desire of the creature in motion towards God, but the infinite desire of God is united with it, co-operates with it; and in this united desire of God and the creature is the salvation and life of the soul brought forth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951 Concluding a short series on Romans 8:   [Of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951 Concluding a short series on Romans 8:   [Of vv. 32]   St. Paul had a lovely way of letting his letters break out into song every now and then. ([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic is the anatomy of thought ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic is the anatomy of thought]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See, how the liver is swollen larger than a fat goose!

Let Jones worship the sun or moon -- anything rather than the Inner Light; let Jones worship cats or crocodiles, if he can find any in his street, but not the god within. Christianity came into the world firstly in order to assert with violence that a man had not only to look inwards, but to look outwards, to behold with astonishment and enthusiasm a divine company and a divine captain. The only fun of being a Christian was that a man was not left alone with the Inner Light, but definitely recognized an outer light, fair as the sun, clear as the moon, terrible as an army with banners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[JBoss - Its free, and it doesn't suck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23142]]></link><description><![CDATA[JBoss - Its free, and it doesn't suck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By many indignities we come to dignities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50973]]></link><description><![CDATA[By many indignities we come to dignities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13459]]></link><description><![CDATA[In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British arguments, he has effectively done what the president asked him to do and forgotten that he should be arguing Britain's corner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without Mr. Sullivan's cooperation, it is likely that Ebbers would never have been brought to justice.

You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5116]]></link><description><![CDATA[A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be able to say how much love, is love but little. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2168]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be able to say how much love, is love but little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[October's child is born for woe, And life's vicissitudes must know;  But lay on Opal on her breast,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23254]]></link><description><![CDATA[October's child is born for woe, And life's vicissitudes must know;  But lay on Opal on her breast,   And hope will lull those woes to rest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A willing heart adds feather to the heel And makes the clown a winged Mercury. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61588]]></link><description><![CDATA[A willing heart adds feather to the heel And makes the clown a winged Mercury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take your life in your own hands and what happens?
