For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living? -Much Ado about Nothing.

The Jackdaw, knowing his own ugliness, searched through the woods and fields, and collected the feathers which had fallen from the wings of his companions, and stuck them in all parts of his body, hoping thereby to make himself the most beautiful of all. When the appointed day arrived, and the birds had assembled before Jupiter, the Jackdaw also made his appearance in his many feathered finery. But when Jupiter proposed to make him king because of the beauty of his plumage, the birds indignantly protested, and each plucked from him his own feathers, leaving the Jackdaw nothing but a Jackdaw.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To stretch his legs between consultations, Maclean escorted his last patient to Baker Street station. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4634]]></link><description><![CDATA[To stretch his legs between consultations, Maclean escorted his last patient to Baker Street station.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43683]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wont let a wife lead me to the altar.
