Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47558]]></link><description><![CDATA[You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hoy-day! What a sweep of vanity comes this way! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hoy-day! What a sweep of vanity comes this way!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The style is the man. [Fr., Le style c'est l'homme.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The style is the man. [Fr., Le style c'est l'homme.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is such an incredible friendship and relationship we have, and I know viewers like the way we play off ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37799]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is such an incredible friendship and relationship we have, and I know viewers like the way we play off each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature never makes any blunders, when she makes a fool she means it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature never makes any blunders, when she makes a fool she means it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I consider how my light is spent  Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8154]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I consider how my light is spent  Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,  And that one talent which is death to hide Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present  My true account, lest He returning chide,  "Doth God exact day-labor, light denied?"
