He was interested only in those emotions and professions which could get themselves translated into character and action. Words have always been the bane of religion as well as its vehicle. Religious emotion has enormous motive force, but it is the easiest thing in the world for it to sizzle away in high professions and wordy prayers. In that case, it is a substitute and counterfeit, and a damage to the Reign of God among men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the friendship of two, the patience of one is required. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45737]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the friendship of two, the patience of one is required.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't cheat the public for long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5821]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't cheat the public for long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Thailand's history there have been dissensions from time to time, but in general, unity has prevailed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30150]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Thailand's history there have been dissensions from time to time, but in general, unity has prevailed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. [Fr., La patience est amere, mais son fruit est doux.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. [Fr., La patience est amere, mais son fruit est doux.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocrity obtains more with application than superiority without it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocrity obtains more with application than superiority without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833  The generality of nominal Christians... are almost entirely taken up with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833  The generality of nominal Christians... are almost entirely taken up with the concerns of the present world. They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts.
