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[Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never participated directly or indirectly in any business related to the United Nations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40216]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never participated directly or indirectly in any business related to the United Nations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There wasn't anything I could do about it.

To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasantly, between the pelting showers, the sunshine gushes down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasantly, between the pelting showers, the sunshine gushes down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've reached a point in life where it's no longer necessary to try to impress.
