I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn't born with enough middle fingers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58472]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wasn't born with enough middle fingers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was funny, ...

Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith."

It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord when we are tossed about by suffering as if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord when we are tossed about by suffering as if by surf.
