Therefore I do not see how it is possible in the nature of things for any revival of religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these cannot but produce riches. But as riches increase, so will pride, anger, and love of the world in all its branches. How then is it possible that Methodism, that is a religion of the heart, though it flourishes now as the green bay tree, should continue in this state? For the Methodists in every place grow diligent and frugal; consequently, they increase in goods. Hence, they proportionately increase in pride, in anger, in the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life. So, although the form of religion remains, the spirit is swiftly vanishing away. Is there no way to prevent ... this continual decay of pure religion?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast prevariated with thy friend, By underhand contrivances undone me:  And while my open nature trusted in thee, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast prevariated with thy friend, By underhand contrivances undone me:  And while my open nature trusted in thee,   Thou hast stept in between me and my hopes,    And ravish'd from me all my soul held dear.     Thou hast betray'd me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pitcher goes so often to the fountain (that if gets broken). [Sp., Tantas veces va el cantarillo a la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54041]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pitcher goes so often to the fountain (that if gets broken). [Sp., Tantas veces va el cantarillo a la fuente.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Blossoms and leaves in plenty From the apple tree fall each day;  The merry breezes approach them,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2945]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Blossoms and leaves in plenty From the apple tree fall each day;  The merry breezes approach them,   And with them merrily play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is good.
