You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A penny saved is two pence clear, A pin a day's a groat a year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13334]]></link><description><![CDATA[A penny saved is two pence clear, A pin a day's a groat a year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kissing is like drinking salted water: you drink and your thirst increases ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23860]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kissing is like drinking salted water: you drink and your thirst increases]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15296]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be thankful for the fools; but for them the rest of us could not succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us be thankful for the fools; but for them the rest of us could not succeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  Devotional poetry... has to do with devotedness, with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  Devotional poetry... has to do with devotedness, with trust merged into faith, with love's steadfastness. It finds men's worthwhileness deep laid in relationship to God's worthwhileness, and this devotion is expressed in communication. It finds this world precious insofar as it... symbolizes God's love and therefore it runs counter to our national sin of distrust in God. (And yet, how can we trust Him without knowing and living unto Him and loving Him?).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life that he has a raging desire to go somewhere and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4802]]></link><description><![CDATA[There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life that he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711   [My father's] common salutation of his family ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711   [My father's] common salutation of his family or friends, on the Lord's day in the morning, was that of the primitive Christians: "The Lord is risen, He is risen indeed"; making it his chief business on that day to celebrate the memory of Christ's resurrection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24709]]></link><description><![CDATA[For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only is it harder to be a man, it is also harder to become one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only is it harder to be a man, it is also harder to become one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult / Of our life's wild, restless sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult / Of our life's wild, restless sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people of this city have lost a great warrior, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33475]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people of this city have lost a great warrior,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61523]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink;  Water, water, everywhere,   Nor any drop to drink. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink;  Water, water, everywhere,   Nor any drop to drink.    The very deep did rot: O Christ!     That ever this should be!      Yes, slimy things did crawl with legs       Upon the slimy sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64261]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glorious are the woods in their latest gold and crimson, Yet our full-leaved willows are in the freshest green.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glorious are the woods in their latest gold and crimson, Yet our full-leaved willows are in the freshest green.  Such a kindly autumn, so mercifully dealing   With the growths of summer, I never yet have seen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make it simple.

It involves the concepts of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another places the truth of the case in dispute in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind, And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind:  There all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44524]]></link><description><![CDATA[The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind, And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind:  There all in sweet confusion sought the shade,   And fill'd each pause the nightingale had made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The method of the enterprising is to plan with audacity, and executewith vigor; to sketch out a map of possibilities; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22075]]></link><description><![CDATA[The method of the enterprising is to plan with audacity, and executewith vigor; to sketch out a map of possibilities; and then to treat themas probabilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Re-examine all you have been told . . .
