sympathizing, benevolent, and generous affections; attention to what in the world's estimation are the domestic, relative, and social duties; and, above all, a life of general activity and usefulness, may well be allowed, in our imperfect state, to make up for the defect of what, in strict propriety of speech, is termed religion. Many, indeed, will unreservedly declare, and more will hint, the opinion that the difference between the qualities above mentioned and religion, is rather a verbal or logical, than a real and essential difference; for in truth, what are they but religion in substance if not in name? Is it not the great end of religion, and, in particular, the glory of Christianity, to extinguish the malignant passions; to curb the violence, to control the appetites, and to smooth the asperities of man; to make us compassionate and kind, and forgiving one to another; to make us good husbands, good fathers, good friends; and to render us active and useful in the discharge of the relative social and civil duties? We do not deny that, in the general mass of society, and particularly in the lower orders, such conduct and tempers can not be diffused and maintained by any other medium than that of religion. But if the end be effected, surely it is only an unnecessary refinement to dispute about the means. It is even to forget your own principles; and to refuse its just place to solid, practical virtue, while you assign too high a value to speculative opinions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a word is worth a coin, silence is worth two. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56290]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a word is worth a coin, silence is worth two.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two cannot fall out if one does not choose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two cannot fall out if one does not choose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I gave, I have; what I spent, I had; what I kept, I lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17275]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I gave, I have; what I spent, I had; what I kept, I lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank.
