This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage. Indeed, I tell you the truth, any object you have in your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost Truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly deceived ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2960]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly deceived]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't be a professor and talk out of a textbook to teach locomotive operations.

And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An old wise mans shaddow is better then a young buzzards sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49131]]></link><description><![CDATA[An old wise mans shaddow is better then a young buzzards sword.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the good of being a genius if you cannot use it as an excuse for being unemployed? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21672]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is the good of being a genius if you cannot use it as an excuse for being unemployed?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are examining what alternative documents we could use for people in those border areas to go back and forth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37282]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are examining what alternative documents we could use for people in those border areas to go back and forth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37282</guid></item></channel></rss>
