Prosperity has power to intoxicate the imagination, to fix the mind upon the present scene, to produce confidence and elation, and to make him who enjoys affluence and honors forget the hand by which they were bestowed. It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like Theon (i.e., a calumniating disposition). [Lat., Dens Theonia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like Theon (i.e., a calumniating disposition). [Lat., Dens Theonia.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we feel and think and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63754]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we feel and think and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and viscera.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have no direct interest in those cities and don't have a strategic plan to include them, but that doesn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32823]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have no direct interest in those cities and don't have a strategic plan to include them, but that doesn't mean we won't in the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I also prepackage cheese and sausage for my homemade pizzas, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31137]]></link><description><![CDATA[I also prepackage cheese and sausage for my homemade pizzas,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confound the cats!

We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like a diaphanous nightgown, language both hides and reveals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like a diaphanous nightgown, language both hides and reveals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right human relations is the only true peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right human relations is the only true peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had to have this purse.
