I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fight fire with fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fight fire with fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is deeper than all speech, Feeling deeper than all thought;  Souls to souls can never teach   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is deeper than all speech, Feeling deeper than all thought;  Souls to souls can never teach   What unto themselves was taught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Six years ago we said, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Six years ago we said,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have your way.
