What reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God? When our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light "so shine before men that they may see our good works"?... I will not pronounce anything concerning the impossibility of a death-bed repentance, but I am sure that it is very difficult, and, I believe, very rare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith.

Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zealous in the commencement, careless in the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zealous in the commencement, careless in the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Peter & Paul, Apostles   God always gives us strength enough, and sense enough, for every thing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Peter & Paul, Apostles   God always gives us strength enough, and sense enough, for every thing that He wants us to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got to go [back to the moon].
