It is a hard thing to break through a habit, and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet, if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles, how wilt thou overcome greater ones? Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties. Oh, if thou knewest what peace to thyself thy holy life should bring, ... and what joy to others, methinketh thou wouldst be more zealous for spiritual profit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some go to the light of nature and the use of "right reason" (that is, their own) as their guides; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some go to the light of nature and the use of "right reason" (that is, their own) as their guides; and some add the additional documents of the philosophers. They think a saying of Epictetus, or Seneca, or Arrianus, being wittily suited to their fancies and affections, to have more life and power in it than any precept of the Gospel. The reason why these things are more pleasing unto them than the commands and instructions of Christ is because, proceeding from the spring of natural light, they are suited to the workings of natural fancy and understanding; but those of Christ, proceeding from the fountain of eternal spiritual light, are not comprehended in their beauty and excellency without a principle of the same light in us, guiding our understanding and influencing our affections. Hence, take any precept, general or particular, about moral duties, that is materially the same in the writings of philosophers and in the doctrine of the Gospel; not a few prefer it as delivered in the first way before the latter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The administration believes it's in the best interest at this time to ban both research as well as reproductive cloning ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31973]]></link><description><![CDATA[The administration believes it's in the best interest at this time to ban both research as well as reproductive cloning because the easy step that moves us across that line we all agree is reprehensible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was crazy.
