To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should all endure our own grievances rather than detract from the comforts of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48890]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should all endure our own grievances rather than detract from the comforts of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So, fall asleep love, loved by me....for I know love, I am loved by thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54383]]></link><description><![CDATA[So, fall asleep love, loved by me....for I know love, I am loved by thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am overwhelmed by the grace and persistence of my people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46203]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am overwhelmed by the grace and persistence of my people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not ashamed to have had wild days, but not to have sown your wild oats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not ashamed to have had wild days, but not to have sown your wild oats.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't like something, change it.

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[The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel.
