For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free -- however free one can be on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46978]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free -- however free one can be on this planet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stolen kisses are always sweeter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50407]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stolen kisses are always sweeter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[it is much safer to obey than to rule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24483]]></link><description><![CDATA[it is much safer to obey than to rule.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59755]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Circumstances beyond my individual control. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Circumstances beyond my individual control.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64811]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know you can't make that big play, get that turnover every time.
