He does not advise them to find a happy medium between the contending opinions or to average the two extremes in a compromise. On the contrary, he admonished them that "every one be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5), because God is able to make both stand, as both of them are serving the Lord in obedience to their individual convictions of His will... Each of us has to find personally what is the will of God for his own life, and let all others meet their responsibility to do the same... For God, by giving different commands to many, and putting them together according to His plan, shall accomplish ultimately His complete will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm convinced that every boy, in his heart, would rather steal second base than an automobile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57516]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm convinced that every boy, in his heart, would rather steal second base than an automobile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is a man born for but to be a reformer, a remaker of what has been made, a denouncer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53221]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is a man born for but to be a reformer, a remaker of what has been made, a denouncer of lies, a restorer of truth and good?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He doth nothing but talk of his horse. -The Merchant of Venice.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love cannot remain by itself -- it has no meaning.

When I was appointed head football coach in 1972, I decided to approach my role as a coach much the same as I did as a bishop, delegating responsibility to my assistants, putting responsibility on the players for self-improvement in all aspects of their lives, and using personal interviews with players to try to give positive reinforcement and encouragement so that they might do their very best and reach their full potential, both on and off the field.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are bound to our bodies like an oyster is to its shell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4452]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are bound to our bodies like an oyster is to its shell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Pray take them, Sir,--Enough's a Feast; Eat some, and pocket up the rest." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13249]]></link><description><![CDATA["Pray take them, Sir,--Enough's a Feast; Eat some, and pocket up the rest."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to avoid anything that looks like there is a partition, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41263]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to avoid anything that looks like there is a partition,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23534]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know of no way of judging the future but by the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63268]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603  Now since our eternal state is as certainly ours, as our present state; since we are as certainly to live for ever, as we now live at all; it is plain, that we cannot judge of the value of any particular time, as to us, but by comparing it to that eternal duration, for which we are created.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wo be to him that reads but one book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wo be to him that reads but one book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20493]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dog has got more fun out of man than man has got out of the dog, for man is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12691]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dog has got more fun out of man than man has got out of the dog, for man is the more laughable of the two animals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4253]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4253</guid></item></channel></rss>
