If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people drop out along the way and you need others to stay for a support group, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people drop out along the way and you need others to stay for a support group,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best, the most exquisite automobile is a walking stick; and one of the finest things in life is going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3542]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best, the most exquisite automobile is a walking stick; and one of the finest things in life is going on a journey with it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman isn't complete without a man.

It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28476]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm absolutely sure we're having people check it out that never would have gone to a 'Christian' movie.

Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Quaker loves an ample brim, A hat that bows to no Salaam;  And dear the beaver is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18888]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Quaker loves an ample brim, A hat that bows to no Salaam;  And dear the beaver is to him   As if it never made a dam.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vertue never growes old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vertue never growes old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Purposelessness is the fruitful mother of crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Purposelessness is the fruitful mother of crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest mischief in the past century has been perpetrated by Rousseau with his doctrine of the goodness of human ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57007]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest mischief in the past century has been perpetrated by Rousseau with his doctrine of the goodness of human nature.

And if your prayer is only a form of words, made by the skill of other people, such a prayer can no more change you into a good man, than an actor upon the stage, who speaks kingly language, is thereby made to be a king: whereas one thought, or word, or look, towards God, proceeding from your own heart, can never be without its proper fruit, or fail of doing a real good to your soul. Again, another great and infallible benefit of this kind of prayer is this; it is the only way to be delivered from the deceitfulness of your own hearts.
