It reveals a split personality in which faith is "observed" and appraised, thus negating that unity born of a dying-unto-self, which is the definition of faith. To "value" faith is to turn it into a metaphysical magic, the advantages of which ought to be reserved for a spiritual elite.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all mankind were suddenly to practice honesty, many thousands of people would be sure to starve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12544]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all mankind were suddenly to practice honesty, many thousands of people would be sure to starve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average man's judgment is so poor, he runs a risk every time he uses it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53275]]></link><description><![CDATA[The average man's judgment is so poor, he runs a risk every time he uses it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will be better advised to watch what we do instead of what we say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/516]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will be better advised to watch what we do instead of what we say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  God is always present and always working towards ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6951]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  God is always present and always working towards the life of the soul and its deliverance from captivity under flesh and blood. But this inward work of God, though never ceasing or altering, is yet always and only hindered by the activity of our own nature and faculties, by bad men through their obedience to earthly passions and by good men through their striving to be good in their own way, by their natural strength and a multiplicity of holy labours and contrivances. Both these sorts of people obstruct the work of God upon their souls. For we can cooperate with God no other way than by submitting to the work of God, and seeking, and leaving ourselves to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goths tend to be rather pacifistic, so to associate all Goths with violence because some of them are into heavy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17933]]></link><description><![CDATA[Goths tend to be rather pacifistic, so to associate all Goths with violence because some of them are into heavy metal music is illogical.

It is only by contact with God that a better quality of living can be achieved -- and Jesus Himself, as the records show, speent many hours in communion with God -- yet that new quality of life has to be both demonstrated and tested in the ordinary rough-and-tumble of plain living. It is in ordinary human relationships that the validity of a man's communion with God is to be proved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams are nothing but incoherent ideas, occasioned by partial or imperfect sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams are nothing but incoherent ideas, occasioned by partial or imperfect sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11883]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17817]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our sales growth in the first quarter was driven by strong order momentum across our product lines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our sales growth in the first quarter was driven by strong order momentum across our product lines.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Society is infested by persons who, seeing that the sentiments please, counterfeit the expression of them.

In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a pleasure, sure, In being mad, which none but madmen know! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21010]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a pleasure, sure, In being mad, which none but madmen know!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For "ignorance is the mother of devotion," as all the world knows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20400]]></link><description><![CDATA[For "ignorance is the mother of devotion," as all the world knows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is annoying to be honest to no purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64572]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is annoying to be honest to no purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is occasions and causes why and wherefore in all things. -King Henry V.
