In the end, the first step of obedience proves to be an act of faith in the word of Christ. But we should completely misunderstand the nature of grace if we were to suppose that there was no need to take the first-step, because faith was already there. Against that, we must boldly assert that the step of obedience must be taken before faith can be possible. Unless he obeys, a man cannot believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more, love more, and all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more, love more, and all good things will be yours. -Swedish Proverb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cards were at first for benefits designed, sent to amuse, not to enslave the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cards were at first for benefits designed, sent to amuse, not to enslave the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing that I'd rather own than Windows is English, because then I could charge you two hundred and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9377]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing that I'd rather own than Windows is English, because then I could charge you two hundred and forty-nine dollars for the right to speak it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is a funny thing.

Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paradise is our native country, and we in this world be as exiles and strangers ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Paradise is our native country, and we in this world be as exiles and strangers]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't run around, because that's when the seams are there and the holes are there.
