Some even wanted him to be king, a thought that GW found ludicrous: What astonishing changes a few years are capable of producing! I am told that even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror. From thinking proceeds speaking, thence to acting is often but a single step. But how irrevocable and tremendous! What a triumph for the advocates of despotism to find that we are incapable of governing ourselves, and that systems founded on the basis of equal liberty are merely ideal & fallacious!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For your ignorance is the mother of your devotion to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20408]]></link><description><![CDATA[For your ignorance is the mother of your devotion to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consideration, like an angel, came And whipped the offending Adam out of him. -King Henry V.

Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact.

It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you want to bewith your love by the seahearing the gullsongsmelling the salt airfeeling the sandbeneath your toesand the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you want to bewith your love by the seahearing the gullsongsmelling the salt airfeeling the sandbeneath your toesand the seaweedthe sea's legacy?watching the riseoer the bay of the moonand then ascentof the Sun.. oer neptune?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To poison a nation, poison its stories.

The urge to escape our real self is also an urge to escape the rational and the obvious. The refusal to see ourselves as we are develops a distaste for facts and cold logic.
