The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since 1994, any herbal remedy sold as a dietary supplement -- no matter what their real purpose -- the FDA ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since 1994, any herbal remedy sold as a dietary supplement -- no matter what their real purpose -- the FDA has no authority over them,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17957]]></link><description><![CDATA[The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue.

The good I have is from His stores supplied, The ill is only what He deems the best; He for my friend, I'm rich with naught beside, And poor without Him, though of all possessed; Changes may come, I take or I resign Content, while I am His, and He is mine. Whate'er may change, in Him no change is seen, A glorious Sun that wanes not nor declines; Above the storms and clouds He walks serene, And on His people's inward darkness shines; All may depart: I fret not, nor repine, While I my Saviours am, while He is mine. While here, alas! I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore; But when I meet Him in the realms above I hope to love him better, praise Him more, And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know it's a championship game and just have to bounce back and put it behind us and learn from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41838]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know it's a championship game and just have to bounce back and put it behind us and learn from our mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We started out with a 'no.'
