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[When it counted the most, that's when we started losing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40798]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it counted the most, that's when we started losing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46483]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When my unit left, we felt good about what we had done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28687]]></link><description><![CDATA[When my unit left, we felt good about what we had done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Reader! hast thou ever stood to see The Holly-tree?  The eye that contemplates it well perceives   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19585]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Reader! hast thou ever stood to see The Holly-tree?  The eye that contemplates it well perceives   Its glossy leaves    Ordered by an Intelligence so wise     As might confound the Atheist's sophistries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A spark neglected has often raised a conflagration. [Lat., Parva saepe scintilla contempta magnum excitavit incendium.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16022]]></link><description><![CDATA[A spark neglected has often raised a conflagration. [Lat., Parva saepe scintilla contempta magnum excitavit incendium.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance.

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's really focused.

It was the God, in fact, whom the whole of the life of Jesus set forth, to the astonishment of those among whom He moved. Loving still, He brought God to men in the same unmistakable way. The divine love that through Jesus had found the public an Zacchaeus had now through the risen Christ found Paul the Pharisee. Hence forward the central facts of life for Paul were that while he was yet a sinner God had found and forgiven him, and that this was the work of Jesus Christ, in whose love the love of God had become plain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a thing very displeasing to me when the hen speaks and the cock is silent. [Fr., C'est chose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61917]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a thing very displeasing to me when the hen speaks and the cock is silent. [Fr., C'est chose qui moult me deplaist,  Quand poule parle et coq se taist.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is one before whom you may think aloud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16838]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is one before whom you may think aloud.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise.
