But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  Let men in whose hearts are the ways of God seriously consider the use that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  Let men in whose hearts are the ways of God seriously consider the use that hath been made, under the blessing of God, of the conscientious observation of the Lord's day, in the past and present ages, unto the promotion of holiness, righteousness, and religion universally, in the power of it; and if they are not under invincible prejudices, it will be very difficult for them to judge that it is a plant which our heavenly Father hath not planted. For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History, a distillation of rumor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19322]]></link><description><![CDATA[History, a distillation of rumor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take away the cause, and the effect ceases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take away the cause, and the effect ceases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Magic] is not mere superstition.

It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy, inquiry the progress, ignorance the end ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy, inquiry the progress, ignorance the end]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever ceases to be a student has never been a student. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever ceases to be a student has never been a student.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two kinds of men who never amount to much: those who cannot do what they are told, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44742]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two kinds of men who never amount to much: those who cannot do what they are told, and those who can do nothing else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I trust in Nature for the stable laws Of beauty and utility.
