It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap; and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even. There is only one thing, which somebody once put into my head, that I dislike in sleep; it is, that it resembles death; there is very little difference between a man in his first sleep, and a man in his last sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63935]]></link><description><![CDATA[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The act is judged of by the event. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50766]]></link><description><![CDATA[The act is judged of by the event.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mind unemployed is mind un-enjoyed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mind unemployed is mind un-enjoyed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having children with someone is the real bond. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having children with someone is the real bond.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28147]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   It is absolutely wrong and forbidden, either to narrow inspiration to certain parts only of Holy Scripture, or to admit that the sacred writer has erred. For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two things no man will admit he cannot do well: drive and make love ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27015]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two things no man will admit he cannot do well: drive and make love]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now you have access to a distribution network and ATMs that is almost national.

It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If nobody is going to buy this thing, then nobody in private industry is going to support it.

It frequently appears to the non-Christian mind that this is an immoral or at least unmoral doctrine. Paul appears to be saying that a man is justified before God, not by his goodness or badness, not by his good deeds or bad deeds, but by believing in a certain doctrine of Atonement. Of course, when we come to examine the matter more closely, we can see that there is nothing unmoral in this teaching at all. For if "faith" means using a God-given faculty to apprehend the unseen divine order, and means, moreover, involving oneself in that order by personal commitment, we can at once see how different that is from merely accepting a certain view of Christian redemption... That which man in every religion, every century, every country, was powerless to affect, God has achieved by the devastating humility of His action and suffering in Jesus Christ. Now, accepting such an action as a fait accompli is only possible by this perceptive faculty of "faith". It requires not merely intellectual assent but a shifting of personal trust from the achievements of the self to the completely undeserved action of God. To accept this teaching by mind and heart does, indeed, require a metanoia ["transformation"], a revolution in the outlook of both heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Luckily the disc was in the up position, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Luckily the disc was in the up position,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One commending a Tayler for his dexteritie in his profession, another standing by ratified his opinion, saying tailors had their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58563]]></link><description><![CDATA[One commending a Tayler for his dexteritie in his profession, another standing by ratified his opinion, saying tailors had their business at their fingers' ends.   - William Hazlitt,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The primary requisite for any new tax law is for it to exempt enough voters to win the next election ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58684]]></link><description><![CDATA[The primary requisite for any new tax law is for it to exempt enough voters to win the next election]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the things we're trying to persuade kids to do is not to give out personal details online, don't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34701]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the things we're trying to persuade kids to do is not to give out personal details online, don't advertise where they are and who they are.
