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[The immediate reaction was a pretty big move in rates after he suggested that there is a risk overseas troubles ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42204]]></link><description><![CDATA[The immediate reaction was a pretty big move in rates after he suggested that there is a risk overseas troubles will hit the U.S..]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Falsely luxurious, will not man awake? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Falsely luxurious, will not man awake?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A scene has to have a rhythm of its own, a structure of its own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42619]]></link><description><![CDATA[A scene has to have a rhythm of its own, a structure of its own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The go-between wears out a thousand sandals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44363]]></link><description><![CDATA[The go-between wears out a thousand sandals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In New York -- whose subway trains in particular have been "tattooed" with an energy to put our own rude ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18118]]></link><description><![CDATA[In New York -- whose subway trains in particular have been "tattooed" with an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame -- not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was not the result of any information we received but was an unannounced locker search. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38685]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was not the result of any information we received but was an unannounced locker search.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the Bush administration is primarily interested in is regime change in the United States, not regime change in Iraq ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4998]]></link><description><![CDATA[What the Bush administration is primarily interested in is regime change in the United States, not regime change in Iraq or South East Asia or the Balkans.

There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom- freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse.

Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do and I gave the commonsensical reply that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money.
