He was interested only in those emotions and professions which could get themselves translated into character and action. Words have always been the bane of religion as well as its vehicle. Religious emotion has enormous motive force, but it is the easiest thing in the world for it to sizzle away in high professions and wordy prayers. In that case, it is a substitute and counterfeit, and a damage to the Reign of God among men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd rather die Maid, and lead apes in Hell Than wed an inmate of Silenus' Cell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26554]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd rather die Maid, and lead apes in Hell Than wed an inmate of Silenus' Cell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your prices have historically been the low prices in the state.
