Some followers of the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannnot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and Man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are what their mothers made them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27009]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are what their mothers made them]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're really starting to see the strongest influences of the '80s in spring 2006. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36158]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're really starting to see the strongest influences of the '80s in spring 2006.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fast closed with double grills And triple gates--the cell  To wicked souls is hell;   But to a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fast closed with double grills And triple gates--the cell  To wicked souls is hell;   But to a mind that's innocent    'Tis only iron, wood and stone.     [Fr., Doubles grilles a gros cloux,      Triples portes, forts verroux,       Aux ames vraiment mechantes        Vous representez l'enfer;         Mais aux ames innocentes          Vous n'etes que du bois, des pierres, du fer.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moon pull'd off her veil of light, That hides her face by day from sight  (Mysterious veil, of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43064]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moon pull'd off her veil of light, That hides her face by day from sight  (Mysterious veil, of brightness made,)   That's both her lustre and her shade),    And in the lantern of the night,     With shining horns hung out her light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Control your emotion or it will control you ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10045]]></link><description><![CDATA[Control your emotion or it will control you]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her name was called Lady Helena Herring and her age was 25 and she mated well with the earl. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her name was called Lady Helena Herring and her age was 25 and she mated well with the earl.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that hold the greatest farmes, pay the least rent (applyed to rich men that are unthankful to God). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49965]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that hold the greatest farmes, pay the least rent (applyed to rich men that are unthankful to God).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And thereby hangs a tale. -The Taming of the Shrew.

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[Advertising is 85% confusion and 15% commission. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advertising is 85% confusion and 15% commission.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(They are unknown) because they had no bard to sing their praises. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50367]]></link><description><![CDATA[(They are unknown) because they had no bard to sing their praises.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the ideas of those facts in human heads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9348]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the ideas of those facts in human heads.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone has his besetting sin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone has his besetting sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have nothing to declare except my genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13668]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have nothing to declare except my genius.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The operator doesn't have to stare at the screen and guess. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30646]]></link><description><![CDATA[The operator doesn't have to stare at the screen and guess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education...

Therefore blessed be they, and most honoured be their name, that breake the yce and give the onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of soules. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver Gods booke unto the Gods people in a tongue which they understand? ... So if we, building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, doe endeavor to make that better which they left so good; no man, we are sure, has cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive, would thank us. For is the Kingdom of God become words or syllables? Why should we be in bondage to them if we may be free?
