Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I prefer silent prudence to loquacious folly. [Lat., Malo indisertam prudentiam, quam loquacem stultitiam.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51964]]></link><description><![CDATA[I prefer silent prudence to loquacious folly. [Lat., Malo indisertam prudentiam, quam loquacem stultitiam.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But truths on which depends our main concern, That 'tis our shame and misery not to learn,  Shine by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53005]]></link><description><![CDATA[But truths on which depends our main concern, That 'tis our shame and misery not to learn,  Shine by the side of every path we tread   With such a lustre he that runs may read.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the Spanish proverb says, "He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59624]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the Spanish proverb says, "He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him."

This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity...

You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9101]]></link><description><![CDATA[A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't think that, as proposed, this is a workable approach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39579]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't think that, as proposed, this is a workable approach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The PA Interior Ministry is playing the role of the ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41284]]></link><description><![CDATA[The PA Interior Ministry is playing the role of the]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why get married and make one man miserable when I can stay single and make thousands miserable? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26392]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why get married and make one man miserable when I can stay single and make thousands miserable?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old homes! old hearts!

Life becomes sterile and futile without the depth and power which come from participation in eternal realities. But this new age cannot any more successfully live on religious faiths that are out of harmony with known truth, or that hang loose in the air, cut apart from the fundamental intellectual culture of the age. The hour has struck for the serious business of rediscovering the foundations, and of interpenetrating all life and thought with the truths and realities of a victorious religious faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is different from pleasure.
