This, however, must not be a superstitious observance of hours, by which, as it were, performing a task to God, we think we are discharged as to other hours. It should rather be considered a discipline by which our weakness is exercised and stimulated.

It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nakedness of the indigent world may be clothed from the trimmings of the vain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2733]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nakedness of the indigent world may be clothed from the trimmings of the vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pittifull mother makes a scald head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49068]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pittifull mother makes a scald head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then let me quaff the foamy tide, And through the dance meandering glide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then let me quaff the foamy tide, And through the dance meandering glide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rich the treasure, Sweet the pleasure,  Sweet is pleasure after pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46702]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rich the treasure, Sweet the pleasure,  Sweet is pleasure after pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O lovers!
