And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are elements of a win because the rate that was going to be in effect for the Web was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28800]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are elements of a win because the rate that was going to be in effect for the Web was cut in half, and there's no longer a two-tiered structure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Familiarity is the root of the closest friendships, as well as the intensest hatreds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Familiarity is the root of the closest friendships, as well as the intensest hatreds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Constant at Church and 'Change; his gains were sure; His givings rare, save farthings to the poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Constant at Church and 'Change; his gains were sure; His givings rare, save farthings to the poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three million and one hundred thousand Japanese people died in the war, and many foreigners were also victims. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three million and one hundred thousand Japanese people died in the war, and many foreigners were also victims.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were within one offense touchdown in the first half.
