Of this breach Baptism was the sacrament. In Baptism the change was effected and realized in fact. Baptism was not a mere formal external act, a symbol of a spiritual fact which was already complete without it. A Spiritual conversion which was not also a conversion of life was no conversion at all, but a delusion... With the heart man believes, with the mouth he confesses; but a mouth which does not confess disproves the existence of a heart that believes. The soul cannot be God's and the life not God's at the same time. The soul can not be recreated and the life remain unchanged. The spiritual breach is proved and realized and completed in the outward breach. Where there is no outward change, it is safe to deny an inward change. Faith without Baptism and all that Baptism involved was consequently no part of St. Paul's teaching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God never made His work for man to mend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17710]]></link><description><![CDATA[God never made His work for man to mend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I commend you in taking this step to move the company forward, ...

What would it be to taste at the fountain-head that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe, is what lies before us. As St. Augustine said, the rapture of the saved soul will "flow over" into the glorified body. In the light of our present specialized and depraved appetites, we cannot imagine this [torrent of pleasure], and I warn everyone most seriously not to try. But it must be mentioned, to drive out thoughts even more misleading--thoughts that what is saved is a mere ghost, or that the risen body lives in numb insensibility. The body is made for the Lord, and these dismal fancies are wide of the mark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is curious-curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare. -Mark Twain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10371]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is curious-curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare. -Mark Twain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sufficiency of merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27391]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sufficiency of merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Duke of Wellington brought to the post of first minister immortal fame; a quality of success which would almost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15109]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Duke of Wellington brought to the post of first minister immortal fame; a quality of success which would almost seem to include all others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great man is one who leaves others at a loss after he is gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63488]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great man is one who leaves others at a loss after he is gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is so little difference between husbands you might as well keep the first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20196]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is so little difference between husbands you might as well keep the first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The notion of a farseeing and despotic statesman, who can lay down plans for ages yet unborn, is a fancy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47048]]></link><description><![CDATA[The notion of a farseeing and despotic statesman, who can lay down plans for ages yet unborn, is a fancy generated by the pride of the human intellect to which facts give no support.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One doctor described it as 18th-century medicine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36333]]></link><description><![CDATA[One doctor described it as 18th-century medicine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is a safe kind of high. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66900]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is a safe kind of high.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gentlemen do not read each other's mail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gentlemen do not read each other's mail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who sings the praises of his boyhood's days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50251]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who sings the praises of his boyhood's days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the province of the mind, what one believes to be trueeither is true or becomes true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22380]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the province of the mind, what one believes to be trueeither is true or becomes true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63265]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With what knot shall I bind this Proteus, who is ever shifting his ground?
