This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can confound a wise man more than laughter from a dunce. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44666]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can confound a wise man more than laughter from a dunce.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bachelor has to have inspiration for making love to a woman, a married man needs only an excuse ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3648]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bachelor has to have inspiration for making love to a woman, a married man needs only an excuse]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Verse is not written, it is bled; Out of the poet's abstract head.

All too often, evangelicals are paper people. If we do not preach these things, talk about them to each other, and teach them carefully from the pulpit and in the Christian classroom, we cannot expect Christians so to act. This has always been important, but it is especially so today because we are surrounded by a world in which personality is increasingly eroded. If we, who have become God's children, do not show Him to be personal in our lives, then in practice we are denying His existence, and He cannot be anything but grieved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25324]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the authors.
