He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Very little is known of the Canadian country since it is rarely visited by anyone but the Queen and illiterate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47625]]></link><description><![CDATA[Very little is known of the Canadian country since it is rarely visited by anyone but the Queen and illiterate sport fishermen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the thickets and the meadows Piped the bluebird, the Owaissa.  On the summit of the lodges   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4366]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the thickets and the meadows Piped the bluebird, the Owaissa.  On the summit of the lodges   Sang the robin, the Opechee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65086]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pools, that are used by people as they are meant to be used, are not making them (casinos) any money. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pools, that are used by people as they are meant to be used, are not making them (casinos) any money.
