I see that morning in Thy convert's tears,  Fresh as the dew, which but this downing wears.  I smell her spices; and her ointment yields  As rich a scent as the now primrosed fields:  The Day-star smiles, and light, with Thee deceased,  Now shines in all the chambers of the East.  ... Henry Vaughan April 24, 2000 Commemoration of Mellitus, First Bishop of London, 624  The [Christian] "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vices of idleness are only to be shaken off by active employment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vices of idleness are only to be shaken off by active employment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cuba has health indicators that are comparable to those of developed nations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cuba has health indicators that are comparable to those of developed nations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29755]]></link><description><![CDATA[The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hog that ploughs not, not obeys thy call, Lives on the labours of this lord of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58501]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hog that ploughs not, not obeys thy call, Lives on the labours of this lord of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A war for a great principle ennobles a nation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47069]]></link><description><![CDATA[A war for a great principle ennobles a nation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prestige is the shadow of money and power.
