It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O you much partial gods!Why gave ye men affections, and not powerTo govern them? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2063]]></link><description><![CDATA[O you much partial gods!Why gave ye men affections, and not powerTo govern them?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;  When the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24161]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;  When the air does laugh with our merry wit,   And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Manie things are lost for want of asking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49620]]></link><description><![CDATA[Manie things are lost for want of asking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature.

Not only has liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but it is even bound to produce inequality in many respects.
