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[Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt everwithout eror, and nothing we achieve without some measure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt everwithout eror, and nothing we achieve without some measure of finitude andfallibility we call humanness, we are saved by forgiveness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is an ape with possibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19973]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is an ape with possibilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more useful than silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more useful than silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the home remedies, a good wife is best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the home remedies, a good wife is best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And ye sall walk in silk attire, And siller hae to spare,  Gin ye'll consent to be his bride, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4898]]></link><description><![CDATA[And ye sall walk in silk attire, And siller hae to spare,  Gin ye'll consent to be his bride,   Nor think o'Donald mair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[at the core of what we do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37198]]></link><description><![CDATA[at the core of what we do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes life has a way of putting us on our backs to force us to look up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes life has a way of putting us on our backs to force us to look up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mladic literally said these words: They would kill all the men and throw them in the Drina river to feed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mladic literally said these words: They would kill all the men and throw them in the Drina river to feed fish, and these men would never again kill Serb children in the Serb Drina valley.
