Therefore I do not see how it is possible in the nature of things for any revival of religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these cannot but produce riches. But as riches increase, so will pride, anger, and love of the world in all its branches. How then is it possible that Methodism, that is a religion of the heart, though it flourishes now as the green bay tree, should continue in this state? For the Methodists in every place grow diligent and frugal; consequently, they increase in goods. Hence, they proportionately increase in pride, in anger, in the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life. So, although the form of religion remains, the spirit is swiftly vanishing away. Is there no way to prevent ... this continual decay of pure religion?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nay, do not think I flatter. For what advancement may I hope from thee,  That no revenue hast but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nay, do not think I flatter. For what advancement may I hope from thee,  That no revenue hast but thy good spirits   To feed and clothe thee?

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But let a man know that there are things to be known, of which he is ignorant, and it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20422]]></link><description><![CDATA[But let a man know that there are things to be known, of which he is ignorant, and it is so much carved out of his domain of universal knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2190]]></link><description><![CDATA[No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59566]]></link><description><![CDATA[The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They've got some big kids and some athletic kids.
