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[Putting a computer in front of a child and expecting it to teach him is like putting a book under ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Putting a computer in front of a child and expecting it to teach him is like putting a book under his pillow, only more expensive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14540]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66587]]></link><description><![CDATA[My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every effort for progress, for enlightenment, for science, for religious, political, and economic liberty, emanates from the minority, and not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every effort for progress, for enlightenment, for science, for religious, political, and economic liberty, emanates from the minority, and not from the mass]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The police chief works directly for the city manager, who works for the city council, so there is a direct ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36887]]></link><description><![CDATA[The police chief works directly for the city manager, who works for the city council, so there is a direct line between city council goals for public safety and the law enforcement and safety professionals who carry out those goals,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make me to see't;
