Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bread is the staff of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bread is the staff of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Within a bony labrinthean cave, Reached by the pulse of the aerial wave,  This sibyl, sweet, and Mystic Sense ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Within a bony labrinthean cave, Reached by the pulse of the aerial wave,  This sibyl, sweet, and Mystic Sense is found,   Muse, that presides o'er all the Powers of Sound.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even in the bleakest times, there are gifts to be discovered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even in the bleakest times, there are gifts to be discovered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statistics are like a bikini.
