By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like everybody points you to somebody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31154]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's like everybody points you to somebody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that lives well is learned enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that lives well is learned enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24993]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others. -Pericles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things of today? Deeds which are harvest for Eternity! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things of today? Deeds which are harvest for Eternity!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Simon & Jude, Apostles Continuing a short series on prayer:   Hunger may drive the runaway child ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Simon & Jude, Apostles Continuing a short series on prayer:   Hunger may drive the runaway child home, and he may or may not be fed at home; but he needs his mother more than his dinner. Communion with God is the one need of the soul beyond all other need: prayer is the beginning of that communion, and some need is the motive of that prayer... So begins a communion, a talking with God, a coming-to-one with Him, which is the sole end of prayer, yea, of existence itself in its infinite phases. We must ask that we may receive; but that we should receive what we ask in respect of our lower needs, is not God's end in making us pray, for He could give us everything without that: to bring His child to His knee, God withholds that man may ask.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always wish them well, ... except this week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39818]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always wish them well, ... except this week.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To go upon the Franciscans Hackney (i.e. on foot). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50005]]></link><description><![CDATA[To go upon the Franciscans Hackney (i.e. on foot).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And of course, the brain is not responsible for any of the sensations at all.
