Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pathos of man is that he hungers for personal fulfillment and for a sense of community with others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pathos of man is that he hungers for personal fulfillment and for a sense of community with others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55239]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Up to his nest again, I shall not live in vain. -Emily Dickinson.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anthony worked his tail off.
