He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He told me he wasn't getting into the middle of this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40762]]></link><description><![CDATA[He told me he wasn't getting into the middle of this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis not the many oaths that make the truth; But the plain single vow, that is vow'd true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61026]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis not the many oaths that make the truth; But the plain single vow, that is vow'd true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jazz is not dead - it just smells funny ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jazz is not dead - it just smells funny]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You definitely have to respect this place, as we learned in the past with my father and my grandfather ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41465]]></link><description><![CDATA[You definitely have to respect this place, as we learned in the past with my father and my grandfather ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ both had a lot of unfortunate luck here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65854]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is whatever you can still betray.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't use makeup and wigs to have Peri and Teri look like Sara and Yvonne, but the roles were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32229]]></link><description><![CDATA[We didn't use makeup and wigs to have Peri and Teri look like Sara and Yvonne, but the roles were challenging because they had to portray them in three stages of their lives, from their 20s, 40s to their 60s,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Treat your friend as if he will one day be your enemy, and your enemy as if he will one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Treat your friend as if he will one day be your enemy, and your enemy as if he will one day be your friend]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; they put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of you.
