All too often, evangelicals are paper people. If we do not preach these things, talk about them to each other, and teach them carefully from the pulpit and in the Christian classroom, we cannot expect Christians so to act. This has always been important, but it is especially so today because we are surrounded by a world in which personality is increasingly eroded. If we, who have become God's children, do not show Him to be personal in our lives, then in practice we are denying His existence, and He cannot be anything but grieved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sir, my circumstances, Being so near the truth as I will make them,  Must first induce you to believe; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sir, my circumstances, Being so near the truth as I will make them,  Must first induce you to believe; whose strength   I will confirm with oath, which I doubt not    You'll give me leave to spare when you shall find     You need it not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hunger is the best sauce in the world. [Sp., La mejor salsa del mundo es la hambre.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hunger is the best sauce in the world. [Sp., La mejor salsa del mundo es la hambre.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is going to be most expensive ballot in California history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40076]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is going to be most expensive ballot in California history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I gave Emmitt a hug after his last game [with Dallas] and told him I was proud to have played ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40546]]></link><description><![CDATA[I gave Emmitt a hug after his last game [with Dallas] and told him I was proud to have played against him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7368]]></link><description><![CDATA[To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43889]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we only will tune in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadays: he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadays: he won't be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who's always telling you that, of course, he's nobody. Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After watching (Gilbert) warm up, I thought they were very nonchalant and really weren't going very hard out there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42671]]></link><description><![CDATA[After watching (Gilbert) warm up, I thought they were very nonchalant and really weren't going very hard out there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I defended him [John McCain] in those hearings when some stupid-ass right-wing idiot accused him of being the Manchurian Candidate, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23295]]></link><description><![CDATA[I defended him [John McCain] in those hearings when some stupid-ass right-wing idiot accused him of being the Manchurian Candidate, that somehow the Vietnamese had brainwashed him. This is the most unbelievably callous, degrading, nonsensical piece of crap I've ever heard in my life, coming from some chicken hawk out there, to hurl at somebody who spent as long as he did being tortured and standing up for his country, and caring about it as much as he did.
