The idea is laughable. The Devil, on the other hand, laughs with demonic mirth, is possessed of a sardonic wit, and his eyes hold a glint of wicked bemusement.

The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the province of knowledge to speak And it is the privilege of wisdom to listen. -Oliver Wendell Holmes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25191]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the province of knowledge to speak And it is the privilege of wisdom to listen. -Oliver Wendell Holmes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor ear can hear nor tongue can tell The tortures of that inward hell! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor ear can hear nor tongue can tell The tortures of that inward hell!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Christians believe in divine sovereignty but some are not aware that they do, and mistakenly imagine and insist that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773]]></link><description><![CDATA[All Christians believe in divine sovereignty but some are not aware that they do, and mistakenly imagine and insist that they reject it. What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. - The Quest for Certainty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. - The Quest for Certainty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever wants to be a judge of human nature should study people's excuses ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever wants to be a judge of human nature should study people's excuses]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Striving to better, oft we mar what's well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Striving to better, oft we mar what's well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deliberate with caution, but act with decision; and yield with graciousness, or oppose with firmness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deliberate with caution, but act with decision; and yield with graciousness, or oppose with firmness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Toil, feel, think, hope; you will be sure to dream enough before you die, without arranging for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Toil, feel, think, hope; you will be sure to dream enough before you die, without arranging for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great minds think alike. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great minds think alike.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chivalry is the most delicate form of contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chivalry is the most delicate form of contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[States that rise quickly, just as all the other things of nature that are born and grow rapidly, cannot have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43715]]></link><description><![CDATA[States that rise quickly, just as all the other things of nature that are born and grow rapidly, cannot have roots and ramifications; the first bad weather kills them]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43715</guid></item></channel></rss>
