Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll be at charges for a looking-glass And entertain a score or two of tailors  To study fashions to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15349]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll be at charges for a looking-glass And entertain a score or two of tailors  To study fashions to adorn my body:   Since I am crept in favor with myself,    I will maintain it with some little cost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring in your life and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62536]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring in your life and the lives of people you love]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63061]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[JBoss - Its free, and it doesn't suck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23142]]></link><description><![CDATA[JBoss - Its free, and it doesn't suck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are more satirical from vanity than from malice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are more satirical from vanity than from malice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Write on your doors the saying wise and old, "Be bold! be bold!" and everywhere--"Be bold;  Be not too ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Write on your doors the saying wise and old, "Be bold! be bold!" and everywhere--"Be bold;  Be not too bold!"
