The first is called insuperable, the second inseparable, the third singular. Thy love is insuperable when nothing may overcome it, that is, neither weal, nor woe, nor anguish, just of flesh nor the liking of this world... Thy love is inseparable when all thy thoughts and thy wills are gathered together and fastened wholly in Jesus Christ, so that thou mayest no time forget Him, but aye thou thinkest on Him... Thy love is singular when all thy delight is in Jesus Christ and in no other thing finds joy and comfort.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality is not an act, it is a habit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quality is not an act, it is a habit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18515</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[Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is vanity, and power a pageant; but knowledge is ecstatic in enjoyment, perennial in frame, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is vanity, and power a pageant; but knowledge is ecstatic in enjoyment, perennial in frame, unlimited in space and indefinite in duration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one thing over which you have absolute control is your own thoughts.

It frequently appears to the non-Christian mind that this is an immoral or at least unmoral doctrine. Paul appears to be saying that a man is justified before God, not by his goodness or badness, not by his good deeds or bad deeds, but by believing in a certain doctrine of Atonement. Of course, when we come to examine the matter more closely, we can see that there is nothing unmoral in this teaching at all. For if "faith" means using a God-given faculty to apprehend the unseen divine order, and means, moreover, involving oneself in that order by personal commitment, we can at once see how different that is from merely accepting a certain view of Christian redemption... That which man in every religion, every century, every country, was powerless to affect, God has achieved by the devastating humility of His action and suffering in Jesus Christ. Now, accepting such an action as a fait accompli is only possible by this perceptive faculty of "faith". It requires not merely intellectual assent but a shifting of personal trust from the achievements of the self to the completely undeserved action of God. To accept this teaching by mind and heart does, indeed, require a metanoia ["transformation"], a revolution in the outlook of both heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54268]]></link><description><![CDATA[I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ill-favoured thing, sir, but mine own. -As You Like It.

But once, in the heart of an angry crowd, their enthusiasm soured suddenly into a growling muttering. He applied it confidently to a man who, under the inspiration of His friendship, had broken with his sorry past and his old selfish, unclean ways, and was doing what he could to put things right. Now that, He said, is what I call a saved man. Very solemnly He tells us that on the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked the questions we are expecting, but others that will puzzle and startle us. Those folk on the left hand were, as far as we hear, respectable folk; their business books were straight, their home life was kindly, they themselves were clean-living men and women: nothing whatever is laid to their charge excepting this, that they lived in a world needing their help and were too absorbed in something -- what it was, we are not told; it may have been their souls -- to give what aid they could.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am very pleased that Governor Perry and his Commissioner of Education firmly believe that more education dollars should be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31195]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am very pleased that Governor Perry and his Commissioner of Education firmly believe that more education dollars should be spent in the classroom, ...
