The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It'd be great to go 3-0.

Of this breach Baptism was the sacrament. In Baptism the change was effected and realized in fact. Baptism was not a mere formal external act, a symbol of a spiritual fact which was already complete without it. A Spiritual conversion which was not also a conversion of life was no conversion at all, but a delusion... With the heart man believes, with the mouth he confesses; but a mouth which does not confess disproves the existence of a heart that believes. The soul cannot be God's and the life not God's at the same time. The soul can not be recreated and the life remain unchanged. The spiritual breach is proved and realized and completed in the outward breach. Where there is no outward change, it is safe to deny an inward change. Faith without Baptism and all that Baptism involved was consequently no part of St. Paul's teaching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48346]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrilling magic found only in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Its the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrilling magic found only in a friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth crushed to earth shall rise again: Th' eternal years of God are hers;  But Error, wounded, writhes in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth crushed to earth shall rise again: Th' eternal years of God are hers;  But Error, wounded, writhes in pain,   And dies among his worshippers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punishment is the last and the least effective instrument in the hands of the legislator for the prevention of crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Punishment is the last and the least effective instrument in the hands of the legislator for the prevention of crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That should be regarded as a loss, which is won at the expense of our reputation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51631]]></link><description><![CDATA[That should be regarded as a loss, which is won at the expense of our reputation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't expect to prevent negative feelings altogether.
