And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ... They considered their whole nature as the subject of religion and divine graces; and therefore their religion was according to the workings of their whole nature, and the old man was as busy and as much delighted in it as the new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ruling eliminates the risk of a large-scale financial verdict, should increase the market's visibility of Philip Morris' long-term U.S. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32929]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ruling eliminates the risk of a large-scale financial verdict, should increase the market's visibility of Philip Morris' long-term U.S. tobacco market share and profit growth, and avoids press coverage of the industry airing its internal issues in public.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes 26 muscles to smile, and 62 muscles to frown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56666]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes 26 muscles to smile, and 62 muscles to frown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing is that they won the game.

Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan  Under my battlements. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52984]]></link><description><![CDATA[The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan  Under my battlements.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The teachings of elegant sayings should be collected when one can.
