It’s not that you refer to them constantly. In fact, for people who do not live in the past, you almost never say, Do you remember that night we...? But you don’t have to. That is the best of all. You know that the other person does remember. Thus, the past is part of the present as long as the other person lives. It is better than any scrapbook, because you are both living scrapbooks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate and I love.

Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is happy for you that possess the talent of pleasing with delicacy.

In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. -King Richard III. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56017]]></link><description><![CDATA[True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. -King Richard III.

Such a faith is thought to be dangerous to spiritual health because it breeds a habit of complacent inertia. In particular, it is thought to paralyse evangelism by robbing one both of the motive to evangelize and of the message to evangelize with. The supposition seems to be that you cannot evangelize effectively unless you are prepared to pretend while you are doing it, that the doctrine of divine sovereignty is not true. I shall try to make it evident that this is nonsense. I shall try to show further that, so far from inhibiting evangelism, faith in the sovereignty of God's government and grace is the only thing that can sustain it, for it is the only thing that can give us the resilience that we need if we are to evangelize boldly and persistently, and not be daunted by temporary setbacks. So far from being weakened by this faith, therefore, evangelism will inevitably be weak and lack staying power without it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is True Evil in this World, it Lies in the Heart of Mankind ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26240]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is True Evil in this World, it Lies in the Heart of Mankind]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65640]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wooden wall alone should remain unconquered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wooden wall alone should remain unconquered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I certainly wasn't happy.
