His modern successors are more inclined to ask either "Did you believe exactly what we teach?" or "Were the hands that were laid on you our hands?", and -- if the answer is satisfactory -- to assure the converts that they have received the Holy Spirit even if they don't know it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the end of the day what seems to be going on here is that Paris is the only victim, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60555]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the end of the day what seems to be going on here is that Paris is the only victim, ...

But what doth the Christian like this? None is ashamed, none repenteth, save that he was not such long ago. If he be marked down, he glorieth; if accused, maketh no defense; being questioned, confesseth even of his own accord; being condemned, giveth thanks. What manner of evil is this, which hath not the natural marks of evil, fear, shame, shrinking, penitence, sorrow? What manner of evil is this, whereof he that is accused rejoiceth?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Fannius from his foe did fly Himself with his own hands he slew;  Who e'er a greater madness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58243]]></link><description><![CDATA[When Fannius from his foe did fly Himself with his own hands he slew;  Who e'er a greater madness knew?   Life to destroy for fear to die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee hath no leisure who useth it not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee hath no leisure who useth it not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Probably 1-3 of them who may be able to run at the varsity level this season.
