This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Born is a Cellar, . . . and living in a Garret. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Born is a Cellar, . . . and living in a Garret.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been hard just getting back in the groove.
