There is no feeble unconcern and indiscriminateness there, and neither is there any excited hatred of the creed, the doctrine, or the Church, which you feel wholly wrong. You have not fled out of the furnace of bigotry to freeze on the open and desolate plains of indifference. You believe and yet you have no wish to persecute.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The law's made to take care o' raskills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24293]]></link><description><![CDATA[The law's made to take care o' raskills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The merit of originality is not novelty, it is sincerity.

Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best soldier does not attack.
