Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When religion is in the hands of the mere natural man, he is always the worse for it; it adds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7338]]></link><description><![CDATA[When religion is in the hands of the mere natural man, he is always the worse for it; it adds a bad heat to his own dark fire and helps to inflame his four elements of selfishness, envy, pride, and wrath. And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ... They considered their whole nature as the subject of religion and divine graces; and therefore their religion was according to the workings of their whole nature, and the old man was as busy and as much delighted in it as the new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We always talk about being a spark and swinging the momentum of the game and that swung it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29863]]></link><description><![CDATA[We always talk about being a spark and swinging the momentum of the game and that swung it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more a man dreams, the less he believes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12827]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more a man dreams, the less he believes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The qualities of an exceptional cook are akin to those of a successful tightrope walker: an abiding passion for the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The qualities of an exceptional cook are akin to those of a successful tightrope walker: an abiding passion for the task, courage to go out on a limb and an impeccable sense of balance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of him who hates the laugh of a child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of him who hates the laugh of a child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66812]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't have a political bone in my body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37951]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't have a political bone in my body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men seldom make passes At girls who wear glasses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men seldom make passes At girls who wear glasses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evildoers delight in hiding themselves; shun appearing; are bewildered when discovered; being accused, deny; not even when tortured, readily or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evildoers delight in hiding themselves; shun appearing; are bewildered when discovered; being accused, deny; not even when tortured, readily or always confess; certainly mourn when condemned; sum up against themselves, impute either to fate or to the stars the impulses of a wicked mind; for they will not have that to be their own, which they acknowledge to be evil. But what doth the Christian like this? None is ashamed, none repenteth, save that he was not such long ago. If he be marked down, he glorieth; if accused, maketh no defense; being questioned, confesseth even of his own accord; being condemned, giveth thanks. What manner of evil is this, which hath not the natural marks of evil, fear, shame, shrinking, penitence, sorrow? What manner of evil is this, whereof he that is accused rejoiceth?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52674]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it was reported to General Washington that the army was frequently indulging in swearing, he immediately sent out the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60294]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it was reported to General Washington that the army was frequently indulging in swearing, he immediately sent out the following order: The general is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing — a vice little known heretofore in the American army — is growing into fashion.
