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[We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory. - The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52032]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory. - The Heart's Domain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cowslips tall her pensioners be. In their gold coats spots you see:  Those be rubies, fairy favors;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10543]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cowslips tall her pensioners be. In their gold coats spots you see:  Those be rubies, fairy favors;   In those freckles live their savors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He didn't run for four months and when he got onto the paddock and ran he was very concerned because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32587]]></link><description><![CDATA[He didn't run for four months and when he got onto the paddock and ran he was very concerned because there was a fair amount of pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11082]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58769]]></link><description><![CDATA[If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resolved, That the compact which exists between the North and the South is a covenant with death and an agreement ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56588]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resolved, That the compact which exists between the North and the South is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell; involving both parties in atrocious criminality, and should be immediately annulled.   - William Lloyd Garrison,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody can do it for you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody can do it for you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection; and will, in turn, be supplanted by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19265]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection; and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A basic trouble is that most Churches limit themselves unnecessarily by addressing their message almost exclusively to those who are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8031]]></link><description><![CDATA[A basic trouble is that most Churches limit themselves unnecessarily by addressing their message almost exclusively to those who are open to religious impression through the intellect, whereas ... there are at least four other gateways -- the emotions, the imagination, the aesthetic feeling, and the will -- through which they can be reached.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a woman at the begining of all great things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63529]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a woman at the begining of all great things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Platonic love is love from the neck up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Platonic love is love from the neck up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist  The why of natural law is the living Voice of God immanent in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist  The why of natural law is the living Voice of God immanent in His creation.
