We may conclude, then, that all the promises and predictions in Scripture relative to the future glories of the Jews and of Jerusalem, are to be understood of the Christian church, of which the Jewish church was a figure; and all that is said of feasting, and splendor, and wealth, and worldly greatness and enjoyment, is to be interpreted spiritually of the inward comfort and peace of mind, and "joy of the Holy Ghost", which is promised to sincere Christians in this life, and of the unspeakable happiness prepared for them after death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sir, she can turn, and turn, and yet go on, And turn again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sir, she can turn, and turn, and yet go on, And turn again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My sore throats are always worse than anyone's. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37231]]></link><description><![CDATA[My sore throats are always worse than anyone's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great pity were it if this beneficence of Providence should be marr'd in the ordering, so as to justly merit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great pity were it if this beneficence of Providence should be marr'd in the ordering, so as to justly merit the Reflection of the old proverb, that though God sends us meat, yet the D------does cooks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54923]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No answer is also an answer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11605]]></link><description><![CDATA[No answer is also an answer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love to do this sort of thing.

And when they are wicked, the Humanitarian theory of punishment will put in their hands a finer instrument of tyranny than wickedness ever had before. For if crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as crime, and compulsorily cured. It will be vain to plead that states of mind which displease the government need not always involve moral turpitude and do not therefore always deserve forfeiture of liberty. For our masters will not be using the concepts of Desert and Punishment but those of disease and cure.

You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents. Love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let firm, well hammer'd soles protect thy feet Through freezing snows, and rains, and soaking sleet;  Should the big ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let firm, well hammer'd soles protect thy feet Through freezing snows, and rains, and soaking sleet;  Should the big last extend the shoe too wide,   Each stone will wrench the unwary step aside;    The sudden turn may stretch the swelling vein,     The cracking joint unhinge, or ankle sprain;      And when too short the modish shoes are worn,       You'll judge the seasons by your shooting corn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, for a lodge in some vast wilderness, Some boundless contiguity of shade,  Where rumour of oppression and deceit, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57173]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, for a lodge in some vast wilderness, Some boundless contiguity of shade,  Where rumour of oppression and deceit,   Of unsuccessful or successful war,    Might never reach me more!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not anything so excellent, but some will carp at it. . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42068]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not anything so excellent, but some will carp at it. . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have nothing to say, say nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27950]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you have nothing to say, say nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5878]]></link><description><![CDATA[We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans.
