For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance.

In that very chapter [Romans 7] where he asserts most strongly our inability to keep the moral law he also asserts most confidently that we perceive the Law's goodness and rejoice in it according to the inward man. Our righteousness may be filthy and ragged; but Christianity gives us no ground for holding that our perceptions of right are in the same condition. They may, no doubt, be impaired; but there is a difference between imperfect sight and blindness. A theology which goes about to represent our practical reason as radically unsound is heading for disaster. If we once admit that what God means by "goodness" is sheerly different from what we judge to be good, there is no difference left between pure religion and devil worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who seeks for aid Must show how service sought can be repaid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who seeks for aid Must show how service sought can be repaid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have the courage to live.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48232]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who dares not (reason), is a slave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46281]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who dares not (reason), is a slave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music helps not the toothache. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51014]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music helps not the toothache.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get rich never risk your health.
