The fruits of the earth are the gift of God, and we pray for them as such; but yet we plant, and we sow, and we plough, for all that; and the hands which are sometimes lift up in prayer must at other times be put to the plough, or the husbandman must expect no crop. Everything must be effected in the way proper to its nature, with the concurrent influence of the divine grace, not to supersede the means, but to prosper and make them effectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Cross    Teach me.

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[Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice.
