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[Don't let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The War is not don so long as my Enemy lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49929]]></link><description><![CDATA[The War is not don so long as my Enemy lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence.

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item></channel></rss>
