And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ... They considered their whole nature as the subject of religion and divine graces; and therefore their religion was according to the workings of their whole nature, and the old man was as busy and as much delighted in it as the new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Turning these jests out of service, let us talk in good earnest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Turning these jests out of service, let us talk in good earnest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He made an instrument to know If the moon shine at full or no;  That would, as soon as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43065]]></link><description><![CDATA[He made an instrument to know If the moon shine at full or no;  That would, as soon as e'er she shone straight,   Whether 'twere day or night demonstrate;    Tell what her d'ameter to an inch is,     And prove that she's not made of green cheese.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stocks are certainly more expensive than they were a year ago.

This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things sweet to taste prove in digestion sour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things sweet to taste prove in digestion sour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Losing was a shock, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Losing was a shock,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And telling me, the sovereign'st thing on earth Was parmaceti for an inward bruise; And that it was great pity, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55845]]></link><description><![CDATA[And telling me, the sovereign'st thing on earth Was parmaceti for an inward bruise; And that it was great pity, so it was, This villanous saltpetre should be digg'd Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, Which many a good tall fellow had destroy'd So cowardly; and but for these vile guns, He would himself have been a soldier. -King Henry IV.

You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I find a film dull, I find it infinitely more entertaining to watch the scratches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43356]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I find a film dull, I find it infinitely more entertaining to watch the scratches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The investment banking team will be first on the ground, fixed income and equities will be the next phase.
