Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3327]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed - it is a process of elimination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is about as big as the things that make him angry ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2521]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is about as big as the things that make him angry]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is going to make the local market inoperative and erect a strong barrier to the entry of foreign capital. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35875]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is going to make the local market inoperative and erect a strong barrier to the entry of foreign capital.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we attribute foreknowledge to God, we mean that all things always were, and perpetually remain, under his eyes, so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7558]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we attribute foreknowledge to God, we mean that all things always were, and perpetually remain, under his eyes, so that to his knowledge there is nothing future or past, but all things are present. And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a pleasant thing to be pointed at with the finger, and to hear it said, "That is he." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50826]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a pleasant thing to be pointed at with the finger, and to hear it said, "That is he."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you desire something from the bottom of your heart, then the entire universe will work for you to give ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63038]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you desire something from the bottom of your heart, then the entire universe will work for you to give what you want.
