To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit -- that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ. The great heresy of the Church of the present day is unbelief in this Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man may live long, and die at last in ignorance of many truths, which his mind was capable of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20421]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man may live long, and die at last in ignorance of many truths, which his mind was capable of knowing, and that with certainty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although many machines have been disinfected, we're certainly not out of the woods yet.

But if anything of this kind runs all through the course of our life, if we allow ourselves in things that are either vain, foolish, or sensual, we renounce our profession. For as sure as Jesus Christ was wisdom and holiness, as sure as He came to make us like Himself and to be baptized into His Spirit, so sure is it that none can be said to keep to their Christian profession but they who, to the utmost of their power, live a wise and holy and heavenly life. This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness. [Lat., Nihil aliud est ebrietas quam voluntaria insania.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness. [Lat., Nihil aliud est ebrietas quam voluntaria insania.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All this, and Heaven too! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19097]]></link><description><![CDATA[All this, and Heaven too!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chuse not an house neere an lnne (viz. for noise) or in a corner (for filth). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49176]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chuse not an house neere an lnne (viz. for noise) or in a corner (for filth).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no reason to repeat bad history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53120]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no reason to repeat bad history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53120</guid></item></channel></rss>
