Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou art willing to suffer no adversity, how wilt thou be the friend of Christ? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7941]]></link><description><![CDATA[If thou art willing to suffer no adversity, how wilt thou be the friend of Christ?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A-four and a-three and a-two and a-one... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15208]]></link><description><![CDATA[A-four and a-three and a-two and a-one...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed.

But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will. -Grenville Kleiser.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10483]]></link><description><![CDATA[A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is "thequiet acceptance of what is.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21601]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is "thequiet acceptance of what is.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions.

"Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After all there is something about a wedding-gown prettier than in any other gown in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2741]]></link><description><![CDATA[After all there is something about a wedding-gown prettier than in any other gown in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For us it's about family.
