You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The line with its rod is a long instrument whose lesser end holds a small reptile, while the other is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The line with its rod is a long instrument whose lesser end holds a small reptile, while the other is held by a great fool. [Fr., La ligne avec sa canne est un long instrument,  Dont le plus mince bout tient un petit reptile,   Et dont Pautre est tenu pau un grand imbecile.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He thanked them for their service to our country.
