And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man must serve his time to every trade Save censure--critics all are ready made.  Take hackney'd jokes from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10728]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man must serve his time to every trade Save censure--critics all are ready made.  Take hackney'd jokes from Miller, got by rote,   With just enough of learning to misquote;    A mind well skill'd to find or forge a fault;     A turn for punning, call it Attic salt;      To Jeffrey go, be silent and discreet,       His pay is just ten sterling pounds per sheet;        Fear not to lie, 'twill seem a lucky hit;         Shrink not from blasphemy, 'twill pass for wit;          Care not for feeling--pass your proper jest,           And stand a critic, hated yet caress'd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shall look forward to a pleasant time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15232]]></link><description><![CDATA[I shall look forward to a pleasant time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no one thing that is true.

Not that we are bound to believe any thing against reason, that is, to believe, we know not why. It is but a slack opinion, it is not Belief, that is not grounded upon Reason. It is true, we have not a Demonstration; not such an Evidence as that one and two are three, to prove these to be Scriptures of God; God hath not proceeded in that manner, to drive our reason into a pound, and to force it by a peremptory necessity to accept these for Scriptures, for then, here had been no exercise of our Will, and our assent, if we could not have resisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would 't were bedtime, Hal, and all well. -King Henry IV.

I do not mean to say that Christ is not mentioned as the author of all good, but that stress is laid on the believing rather than on the object of belief, on the comfort and persuasiveness of the doctrine than on the doctrine itself. And in this way religion is made to consist of contemplating ourselves, instead of Christ; not simply in looking to Christ, but in seeing that we look to Christ; not in His divinity and atonement, but in our conversion and faith in Him...
