His agony was His entrance into the last, eternal terrors of the lost soul, into the real horrors of that dreadful, eternal death which man unredeemed must have died into when he left this world. We are therefore not to consider our Lord's death upon the Cross as only the death of that mortal body which was nailed to it, but we are to look upon Him with wounded hearts, as being fixed and fastened in the state of that twofold death, which was due to the fallen nature, out of which He could not come till He could say, "It is finished; Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beate the dog before the Lyon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beate the dog before the Lyon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its effects, present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who climbs the grammar-tree, distinctly knows Where noun, and verb, and participle grows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who climbs the grammar-tree, distinctly knows Where noun, and verb, and participle grows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will attempt no historical or theological classification of [George] Macdonald's thought, partly because I have not the learning to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8517]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will attempt no historical or theological classification of [George] Macdonald's thought, partly because I have not the learning to do so, still more because I am no great friend to such pigeon-holing. One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little drops of rain Whisper of the pain Tears of love Lost in the days gone by. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Little drops of rain Whisper of the pain Tears of love Lost in the days gone by.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46890]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who could make so vile a pun would not scruple to pick a pocket. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23226]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who could make so vile a pun would not scruple to pick a pocket.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(The county) being 50 percent federally owned already, we're opposed.

Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no problem having money in the bank. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35753]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no problem having money in the bank.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call me not an olive, till thou see me gathered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Call me not an olive, till thou see me gathered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49171</guid></item></channel></rss>
