Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4093]]></link><description><![CDATA[The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To me every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27564]]></link><description><![CDATA[To me every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot win a game of tug-o-war by merely standing firm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32314]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot win a game of tug-o-war by merely standing firm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45407]]></link><description><![CDATA[I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57772]]></link><description><![CDATA[Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm Jimmy Carter, and I'm going to be your next president. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48144]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm Jimmy Carter, and I'm going to be your next president.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The circumstances changed when I heard the other proposals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40436]]></link><description><![CDATA[The circumstances changed when I heard the other proposals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are outraged by somebodyÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢s impudence, ask yourself at once, ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã…ÂCan the world exist without impudent people?ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â It cannot; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41480]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are outraged by somebodyÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢s impudence, ask yourself at once, ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã…ÂCan the world exist without impudent people?ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â It cannot; so do not ask for impossibilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He hath no power that hath not power to use. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47933]]></link><description><![CDATA[He hath no power that hath not power to use.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had not finished the first act before the quaint character of Peter Pan had charmed me.
