How, then, is it with you and me? Be very sure that upon Calvary it was no strange, immoral favouritism that came into operation, whereby -- because of some beliefs that remain mere dead letters, that produce no change whatever in their characters -- some people living the same kind of life as others and following the same selfish ends and interests as they, are given a destiny entirely different. That is the vainest of vain dreams. Rather is this the supreme revelation of a new way of living life; and only those who -- blunderingly, it may be, but yet honestly -- seek to adopt and imitate it can be counted really Christian folk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, really, this appears the common case Of putting too much Sabbath into Sunday--  But what is your opinion, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, really, this appears the common case Of putting too much Sabbath into Sunday--  But what is your opinion, Mrs. Grundy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yee have many strings to your bowe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51974]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yee have many strings to your bowe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/408]]></link><description><![CDATA[My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43834]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate artists who are not of their time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36186]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate artists who are not of their time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God thinks within geniuses, dreams within poets, and sleeps within the rest of us ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17658]]></link><description><![CDATA[God thinks within geniuses, dreams within poets, and sleeps within the rest of us]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You Are My Sunshine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35481]]></link><description><![CDATA[You Are My Sunshine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Practice does not make perfect.

A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world. Scorn the "intellectual" as much as the world esteems it. What men consider intellectual is a certain facility to produce brilliant thoughts. Nothing is more vain. We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25666]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll be at charges for a looking-glass And entertain a score or two of tailors  To study fashions to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15349]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll be at charges for a looking-glass And entertain a score or two of tailors  To study fashions to adorn my body:   Since I am crept in favor with myself,    I will maintain it with some little cost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.
