There is no process by which to reach an ideal. There are no tests by which to verify it. It is therefore impossible to frame a proposition about an ideal which can be proved or disproved. It follows that the use of ideals is to be strictly limited to proper cases, and that the attempt to use ideals in social discussion does not deserve serious consideration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carlos had a puncture and I was in his dust for a time.

I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But if it makes the Americans happy and willing to go on to discuss the real issues of the peace ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36380]]></link><description><![CDATA[But if it makes the Americans happy and willing to go on to discuss the real issues of the peace process, we happily grant them that achievement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've had it when it's 20 below and people still go out there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33309]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've had it when it's 20 below and people still go out there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Interest rates are just part of the costs in the real sector.

And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praise undeserved s satire in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praise undeserved s satire in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The clouds,--the only birds that never sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8907]]></link><description><![CDATA[The clouds,--the only birds that never sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee goes not out of his way, that goes to a good Inne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee goes not out of his way, that goes to a good Inne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her actions over the years have served to diminish the power of the legislature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her actions over the years have served to diminish the power of the legislature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40845</guid></item></channel></rss>
