All pious persons should study to fortify themselves with these counsels, lest, while they consider themselves as valiant and strenuous defenders of righteousness, they depart from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the only Kingdom of righteousness. For since it is the will of God that the communion of his church should be maintained in this external society, those who, from an aversion of wicked men, destroy the token of that society, enter on a course in which they are in great danger of falling from the communion of the saints.   .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18514]]></link><description><![CDATA[All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These eyes, tho' clear To outward view of blemish or of spot,  Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4341]]></link><description><![CDATA[These eyes, tho' clear To outward view of blemish or of spot,  Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot,   Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear    Of sun, or moon, or star, throughout the year,     Or man, or woman.
