Though there was a little superstition in this, yet truly there is nothing but good religion in it, if we apply it to men. Trample not on any; there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of. The name of God may be written upon that soul thou treadest on; it may be a soul that Christ thought so much of, as to give His precious blood for it; therefore despise it not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! they had been friends in youth; But whispering tongues can poison truth,  And constancy lives in realms above; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! they had been friends in youth; But whispering tongues can poison truth,  And constancy lives in realms above;   And life is thorny, and youth is vain;    And to be wrothe with one we love     Doth work like madness in the brain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Close scrutiny will show that most "crisis situations" are opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Close scrutiny will show that most "crisis situations" are opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I did it to myself.

And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is doubtful if the oppressed ever fight for freedom.
