He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flattery looks like friendship, just like a wolf looks like a dog. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16939]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flattery looks like friendship, just like a wolf looks like a dog.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cocaine isn't habit-forming.

For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it."

It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes the sanest thing to do is just wallow in the misery for a while.
