We should therefore take care not to derive the least portion of it from anywhere else. If we seek salvation, we are taught by the very name of Jesus that it is "of him". If we seek any other gifts of the Spirit, they will be found in his anointing. If we seek strength, it lies in his dominion; if purity, in his conception; if gentleness, it appears in his birth. For by his birth he was made like us in all respects that he might learn to feel our pain. If we seek redemption, it lies in his passion; if acquittal, in his condemnation; if remission of the curse, in his cross; if satisfaction, in his sacrifice; if purification, in his blood; if reconciliation, in his descent into hell; if mortification of the flesh, in his tomb; if newness of life, in his resurrection; if immortality, in the same; if inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom, in his entrance into heaven; if protection, if security, if abundant supply of all blessings, in his Kingdom; if untroubled expectation of judgment, in the power given to him to judge. In short, since rich store of every kind of good abounds in him, let us drink our fill from this fountain, and from no other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man isn't poor if he can still laugh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24201]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man isn't poor if he can still laugh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19279]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the joy of a lifetime, ...

Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[If something better] is out there, then we'll keep them, ...

Origen seems to have put forward a definition generally agreed upon among ecclesiastical writers when he said that it is a faculty of the reason to distinguish between good and evil, a faculty of the will to choose one or the other. Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When his wife asked him to change clothes to meet the German Ambassador: "If they want to see me, here ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2728]]></link><description><![CDATA[When his wife asked him to change clothes to meet the German Ambassador: "If they want to see me, here I am.
