Christ, the Spirit of Christ, interpenetrating ours, sweetens, purifies, transforms all. This can only eradicate what is wrong, renovate and regenerate, and rehabilitate the inner man. Will-power does not change men. Time does not change men. Christ does. Therefore "Let that mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courtesy is a science of the highest importance.

But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The word unto the prophet spoken Was writ on tablets yet unbroken:  The word by seers or sibyls told, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54910]]></link><description><![CDATA[The word unto the prophet spoken Was writ on tablets yet unbroken:  The word by seers or sibyls told,   In groves of oak or fanes of gold,    Still floats upon the morning wind,     Still whispers to the willing mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  If there were a righteousness which a man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7070]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  If there were a righteousness which a man could have of his own, then we should have to concern ourselves with the question of how it can be imparted to him.
