I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man of sovereign parts he is esteem'd; Well fitted in arts, glorious in arms: Nothing becomes him ill that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55480]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man of sovereign parts he is esteem'd; Well fitted in arts, glorious in arms: Nothing becomes him ill that he would well. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like: His mighty steed was fast as the wind, on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three, any loose talk about a beloved having a face that could launch a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed own a very large seaport. Patrician Olaf II was eventually killed during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb The Pen is mightier than the Sword.In his memory it was decided that the proverb would from now on include the phrase: only if the Sword is very small and the Pen very sharp.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Class is the impartial, consistent display of emotional integrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Class is the impartial, consistent display of emotional integrity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He thinks posterity is a pack-horse, always ready to be loaded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47838]]></link><description><![CDATA[He thinks posterity is a pack-horse, always ready to be loaded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before; it's important ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53715]]></link><description><![CDATA[It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before; it's important to realize that whatever you're doing, it's your first attempt at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diamonds cut diamonds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48546]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diamonds cut diamonds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48546</guid></item></channel></rss>
