You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11209]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capacity constraints are clearly in the forefront and are what keeps the Fed going in the near term. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Capacity constraints are clearly in the forefront and are what keeps the Fed going in the near term.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In matters of conscience, first thoughts are best.

The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.

That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cowslip is a country wench. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10538]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cowslip is a country wench.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46211]]></link><description><![CDATA[Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63141]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worries and only half the royalties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest conquerer is he who overcomes the enemy without a blow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60621]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest conquerer is he who overcomes the enemy without a blow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Free throws, free throws.

But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is more important than knowledge.
