We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ought to be twice tried for the same offence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50556]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ought to be twice tried for the same offence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just have to take charge and get the job done, we had our opportunities and that's the name of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38262]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just have to take charge and get the job done, we had our opportunities and that's the name of the game.

We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For her, the lilies hang their heads and die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25089]]></link><description><![CDATA[For her, the lilies hang their heads and die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59708]]></link><description><![CDATA[The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is only a modification of talent.
