It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Illegitimis non carborundum."Lat., "Don't let the bastards grind you down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Illegitimis non carborundum."Lat., "Don't let the bastards grind you down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's just a job.

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[Got no check books, got no banks.
