Make me truly thankful for that portion of health which Thy mercy has restored, and enable me to use the remains of life to Thy glory and my own salvation. Take not from me, O Lord, Thy Holy Spirit. Extinguish in my mind all sinful and inordinate desires. Let me resolve to do that which is right, and let me by Thy help keep my resolutions. Let me, if it is best for me, at last know peace and comfort, but whatever state of life Thou shalt appoint me, let me end it by a happy death, and enjoy eternal happiness in Thy presence, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a sin for a plebian to grumble in public. [Lat., Palam mutire plebeio piaculum est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56395]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a sin for a plebian to grumble in public. [Lat., Palam mutire plebeio piaculum est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Herdsman and the Lost Bull A herdsman tending his flock in a forest lost a Bull-calf from the fold. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1523]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Herdsman and the Lost Bull A herdsman tending his flock in a forest lost a Bull-calf from the fold. After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And quick his colour went and came, As fear and rage alternate rose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51079]]></link><description><![CDATA[And quick his colour went and came, As fear and rage alternate rose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He did a great job for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35540]]></link><description><![CDATA[He did a great job for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is justice with no mercy, Ira Flatowwill have to come back countless times asa lab rat for all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/257]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is justice with no mercy, Ira Flatowwill have to come back countless times asa lab rat for all the cruelty he has promoted on NPR.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is that he might have joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is that he might have joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority,--  Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51391]]></link><description><![CDATA[But man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority,--  Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven   As make the angels weep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Th' newspaper does ivrything f'r us.

This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means of great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head, that softness and idleness were to be avoided, that self-denial was a part of Christianity...

Richard Chevenix Trench  April 8, 2000 Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877  It is the recognition of this divine necessity -- not to forgive, but to forgive in a way which shows that God is irreconcilable to evil, and can never treat it as other or less than it is -- it is the recognition of this divine necessity, or the failure to recognise it, which ultimately divides interpreters of Christianity into evangelical and non-evangelical, those who are true to the New Testament and those who cannot digest it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such duty as the subject owes the prince, Even such a woman oweth to her husband. -The Taming of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such duty as the subject owes the prince, Even such a woman oweth to her husband. -The Taming of the Shrew.

Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody.
