What reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God? When our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light "so shine before men that they may see our good works"?... I will not pronounce anything concerning the impossibility of a death-bed repentance, but I am sure that it is very difficult, and, I believe, very rare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glenn Close is a living icon.

From all these, sin can be known, as a tree can be known from its fruits. Yet these outward signs are not sin itself, the wages of which are death. Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are. Shall we call it our pride or our laziness, or shall we call it the deceit of our life? Let us call it for once the great defiance which turns us again and again into the enemies of God and of our fellowmen, even of our own selves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47093]]></link><description><![CDATA[The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fish and guests smell after three days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fish and guests smell after three days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sacrifices are concerned with the feelings of devotion and longing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sacrifices are concerned with the feelings of devotion and longing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows, While proudly rising o'er the azure realm  In gallant trim ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows, While proudly rising o'er the azure realm  In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes,   Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26253]]></link><description><![CDATA[But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man loses nothing, if he but save himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25577]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man loses nothing, if he but save himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are accomplices to that which leaves them indifferent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are accomplices to that which leaves them indifferent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And enough for me that when my hand touched your shoulder, you leaned on me; and when you felt me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9128]]></link><description><![CDATA[And enough for me that when my hand touched your shoulder, you leaned on me; and when you felt me slip away, you called my name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people we personally dislike. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people we personally dislike.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thet tells the story!
