to tell them to be sure they look at Christ instead of simply holding up Christ; to tell them to have faith rather than to supply its object; to lead them to work up their minds, instead of impressing upon them the thought of Him who can savingly work in them; to bid them to be sure their faith is justifying, that it is not dead, formal, self-righteous, or merely moral, instead of delineating Him whose image, fully delineated, destroys deadness, formality, self-righteousness; to rely on words, vehemence, eloquence, and the like, rather than to aim at conveying the one great idea, whether in words or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The children in Holland take pleasure in making What the children in England take pleasure in breaking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5887]]></link><description><![CDATA[The children in Holland take pleasure in making What the children in England take pleasure in breaking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The offspring of riches: Pride, vanity, ostentation, arrogance, tyranny ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3120]]></link><description><![CDATA[The offspring of riches: Pride, vanity, ostentation, arrogance, tyranny]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380   O abyss, O eternal Godhead, O sea profound, what more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380   O abyss, O eternal Godhead, O sea profound, what more could you give me than yourself?
