The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up.

Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deeds, not stones, are the true monuments of the great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deeds, not stones, are the true monuments of the great.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman doesn't need a perfect man. she just needs a special guy who can accept her the way she ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62878]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman doesn't need a perfect man. she just needs a special guy who can accept her the way she is and make her feel special.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13672]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61113]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is one of the greatest economic errors to put any limitation upon production....
