Wrath, which is a fourth birth from these three, can have no existence till one or all of these three are contradicted, or have something done to them that is contrary to their will. These four properties generate their own torment. They have no outward cause, nor any inward power of altering themselves. And therefore all self or nature must be in this state until some supernatural good comes into it, or gets a birth in it. Whilst man indeed lives among the vanities of time, his covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath may be in a tolerable state, may hold him to a mixture of peace and trouble; they may have at times their gratifications as well as their torments. But when death has put an end to the vanity of all earthly cheats, the soul that is not born again of the Supernatural Word and Spirit of God, must find itself unavoidably devoured and shut up in its own insatiable, unchangeable, self-tormenting covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness lies in our own backyard, but it's probably well hidden by crabgrass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness lies in our own backyard, but it's probably well hidden by crabgrass.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was co-ed.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that I know I learned after I was thirty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14726]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that I know I learned after I was thirty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man can see both sides of a problem, you know that none of his moneyis tied up in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21917]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man can see both sides of a problem, you know that none of his moneyis tied up in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience, next, to thee I owe, Best guide; not following thee, I had remain'd  In ignorance; thou open'st wisdom's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience, next, to thee I owe, Best guide; not following thee, I had remain'd  In ignorance; thou open'st wisdom's way,   And giv'st access, though secret she retire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am thinking of taking a fifth wife.

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every mess I find a friend, In every port a wife. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61877]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every mess I find a friend, In every port a wife.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. -The Merchant of Venice.
