Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing more imprudent than excessive prudence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51983]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing more imprudent than excessive prudence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11075]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abuse is the weapon of the vulgar ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abuse is the weapon of the vulgar]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that would have been a fair criticism that would have had more weight if it came a month ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40610]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that would have been a fair criticism that would have had more weight if it came a month ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good history covers not only what was done, but the thought that went into the action.

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Successful people make money.
