If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh the brave Fisher's life, It is the best of any,  'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh the brave Fisher's life, It is the best of any,  'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife,   And 'tis belov'd of many:    Other joys Are but toys;     Only this Lawful is,      For our skill Breeds no ill,       But content and pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Build castles in the air. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Build castles in the air.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No retreat.
