This makes them self-sufficient, morose, severe judges of all those that fall short of their mortifications. And thus their self-denials do only that for them which indulgences do for other people: they withstand and hinder the operation of God upon their souls, and instead of being really self-denials, they strengthen and keep up the kingdom of self.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hate is not a good counselor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hate is not a good counselor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The state, for a long period of time, has been undergoing a wrenching economic transformation.

He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're seeing it now with a big migration from Java to PHP in Web development. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41413]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're seeing it now with a big migration from Java to PHP in Web development.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope! of all ills that men endure, The only cheap and universal cure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope! of all ills that men endure, The only cheap and universal cure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think this is anything against Congressman Kolbe.
