Born in a manger, and crucified as a malefactor, He now controls the destinies of the civilized world, and rules a spiritual empire which embraces one-third of the inhabitants of the globe. There never was in this world a life so unpretending, modest, and lowly in its outward form and condition, and yet producing such extraordinary effects upon all ages, nations, and classes of men. The annals of history produce no other example of such complete and astonishing success in spite of the absence of those material, social, literary, and artistic powers and influences which are indispensable to success for a mere man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very bestadvice, and then going away and doing the exact ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22337]]></link><description><![CDATA[I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very bestadvice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still collecting scientific data.

It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
