All pious persons should study to fortify themselves with these counsels, lest, while they consider themselves as valiant and strenuous defenders of righteousness, they depart from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the only Kingdom of righteousness. For since it is the will of God that the communion of his church should be maintained in this external society, those who, from an aversion of wicked men, destroy the token of that society, enter on a course in which they are in great danger of falling from the communion of the saints.   .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this respect, I have called before these attacks for halting these operations so that people will not believe the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36214]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this respect, I have called before these attacks for halting these operations so that people will not believe the attacks are aimed at preventing them from participating in the referendum.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They wanted me to do Scream 2, and I hate talking about movies I turned down, because it sounds judgmental. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31156]]></link><description><![CDATA[They wanted me to do Scream 2, and I hate talking about movies I turned down, because it sounds judgmental.

If I were to give it to you, you would think yourself of some importance, you would fancy that you had gained something very great. Because you asked for it, you have it. But take care to make good use of it. Before you had it, you were humble; now that you have begun to be rich you despise the poor. What kind of a good is that which only makes you worse? For worse you are, since you were bad already. And that it would make you worse you knew not; hence you asked it of Me. I gave it to you, and I proved you; you have found -- and you have found out! Ask of Me better things than these, greater things than these. Ask of Me spiritual things. Ask of Me Myself!".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got a lot of depth.

Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, And wretches hang that jurymen may dine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, And wretches hang that jurymen may dine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Economics is not about things and tangible material objects; it is about men, their meanings and actions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15726]]></link><description><![CDATA[Economics is not about things and tangible material objects; it is about men, their meanings and actions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm so happy to have completed the two triple axels.

All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despite a poor fourth quarter on the offensive end, we still had a chance in the final seconds, but missed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despite a poor fourth quarter on the offensive end, we still had a chance in the final seconds, but missed free throws and other opportunities hurt us.

This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I am at Rome, I fast on a Saturday: when I am at Milan I do not.
