This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be in the weakest camp is to be in the strongest school. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13397]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be in the weakest camp is to be in the strongest school.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Celia:) Here come Monsieur Le Beau. (Rosalind:) With his mouth full of news.  (Celia:) Which he will put on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44467]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Celia:) Here come Monsieur Le Beau. (Rosalind:) With his mouth full of news.  (Celia:) Which he will put on us as pigeons feed their young.   (Rosalind:) Then shall we be news-crammed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cats need it; we don't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cats need it; we don't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How do I know pornography depraves and corrupts?
