Origen seems to have put forward a definition generally agreed upon among ecclesiastical writers when he said that it is a faculty of the reason to distinguish between good and evil, a faculty of the will to choose one or the other. Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go with your fate, but not beyond.

As if heaven were a hospital founded on purpose to receive all sick and maimed persons that, when they can live no longer to the lusts of the flesh and the sinful pleasures of this world, can but put up a cold and formal petition to be admitted there. No, no, as sure as God is true, they shall never see the Kingdom of God who, instead of seeking it in the first place, make it their last refuge and retreat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I made a $50 bet -- a lot of money then -- with my coach that I'd win a medal. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33355]]></link><description><![CDATA[I made a $50 bet -- a lot of money then -- with my coach that I'd win a medal.

This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17604]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why an arbitrary figure of 30 days?
