"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24245]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So sweet, so sweet the roses in their blowing, So sweet the daffodils, so fair to see;  So blithe ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23568]]></link><description><![CDATA[So sweet, so sweet the roses in their blowing, So sweet the daffodils, so fair to see;  So blithe and gay the humming-bird a going   From flower to flower, a-hunting with the bee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Born out of concern for all beings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Born out of concern for all beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are digging our graves with our teeth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22100]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are digging our graves with our teeth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must loose a flie to catch a trout. [You must lose a fly to catch a trout.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50136]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must loose a flie to catch a trout. [You must lose a fly to catch a trout.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night is the mother of Councels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49645]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night is the mother of Councels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the customer demands is last year's model, cheaper.
