That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10062]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One who sets off to the best advantage his every act and speech. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51667]]></link><description><![CDATA[One who sets off to the best advantage his every act and speech.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to live-I want to love first, and live incidentally. -Zelda Fitzgerald. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14797]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't want to live-I want to love first, and live incidentally. -Zelda Fitzgerald.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  The minister is the servant of his people, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  The minister is the servant of his people, who has to help them discern for themselves the will of God for their real work in the real world. It will often be his duty, therefore, to establish a certain economy in the internal life of the Church, so that people are released to give time and energy to fulfilment of their Christian duty in the worlds of industry or politics or business or professional life, where their most determinative decisions have to be taken. A new puritanism is urgently needed in most churches, which cuts away ruthlessly from their life all organizations and activities which prevent their members from grappling with their real task.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs.The chicken is involved; the pig is committed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21723]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs.The chicken is involved; the pig is committed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3030]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as the treatment of prisoners is concerned ... it is clear that all 25 member states having signed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35206]]></link><description><![CDATA[As far as the treatment of prisoners is concerned ... it is clear that all 25 member states having signed up to European Convention on Human Rights, and to the International Convention Against Torture, are due to respect and fully implement the obligations deriving from those treaties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere.

Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I lived to write, and wrote to live ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62417]]></link><description><![CDATA[I lived to write, and wrote to live]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65075]]></link><description><![CDATA[However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What beck'ning ghost along the moonlight shade Invites my steps, and points to yonder glade? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2786]]></link><description><![CDATA[What beck'ning ghost along the moonlight shade Invites my steps, and points to yonder glade?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all have to die some day, if we live long enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11251]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have not yet begun to fight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54153]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have not yet begun to fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think there was any doubt at all.
