There is no feeble unconcern and indiscriminateness there, and neither is there any excited hatred of the creed, the doctrine, or the Church, which you feel wholly wrong. You have not fled out of the furnace of bigotry to freeze on the open and desolate plains of indifference. You believe and yet you have no wish to persecute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That chastity of honour which felt a stain like a wound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5790]]></link><description><![CDATA[That chastity of honour which felt a stain like a wound.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As, then, a consummate master teaches both by example and by precept, so Christ taught the obedience, which good men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6915]]></link><description><![CDATA[As, then, a consummate master teaches both by example and by precept, so Christ taught the obedience, which good men are to render even at the cost of death, by Himself first dying in rendering it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When religion is in the hands of the mere natural man, he is always the worse for it; it adds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7338]]></link><description><![CDATA[When religion is in the hands of the mere natural man, he is always the worse for it; it adds a bad heat to his own dark fire and helps to inflame his four elements of selfishness, envy, pride, and wrath. And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ... They considered their whole nature as the subject of religion and divine graces; and therefore their religion was according to the workings of their whole nature, and the old man was as busy and as much delighted in it as the new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish.

Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is the process of driving a set of prejudices down your throat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is the process of driving a set of prejudices down your throat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do.

Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness.
