I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bone and Skin, two millers thin, Would starve us all, or near it;  But be it known to Skin ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bone and Skin, two millers thin, Would starve us all, or near it;  But be it known to Skin and Bone   That Flesh and Blood can't bear it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avoid competency traps.

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me the ocular proof. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me the ocular proof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worship of a hero is transcendent admiration of a great man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worship of a hero is transcendent admiration of a great man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546   All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546   All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired, although not in the hour or in the measure, or the very thing which they ask; yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Read my little fable: He that runs may read.  Most can raise the flowers now,   For all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46]]></link><description><![CDATA[Read my little fable: He that runs may read.  Most can raise the flowers now,   For all have got the seed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883   There is a certain kind of so-called conversion which separates ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883   There is a certain kind of so-called conversion which separates a man from his fellow men. It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who need the advice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/762]]></link><description><![CDATA[A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who need the advice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who lets slip fortune, her shall never find: Occasion once past by, is bald behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45069]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who lets slip fortune, her shall never find: Occasion once past by, is bald behind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a man seldom thinks with more earnestness of anything than he does of his dinner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13212]]></link><description><![CDATA[For a man seldom thinks with more earnestness of anything than he does of his dinner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women know not the whole of their coquetry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women know not the whole of their coquetry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64716]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tom Welter (the OSAA executive director) told me they were getting a hearings officer ready to go (today) if an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tom Welter (the OSAA executive director) told me they were getting a hearings officer ready to go (today) if an appeal is filed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You need to be aware of what others are doing, applaud their efforts, acknowledge their successes, and encourage them in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13766]]></link><description><![CDATA[You need to be aware of what others are doing, applaud their efforts, acknowledge their successes, and encourage them in their pursuits.
