He that refuses to do the less is not like to do the greater. It is very improbable that a man will die for his religion, when he cannot be persuaded to live according to it. He that cannot take up a resolution to live a saint, hath a demonstration within himself that he is never like to die a martyr.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't approach a goat from the front, a horse from the back, or a fool from any side. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't approach a goat from the front, a horse from the back, or a fool from any side.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is primarily for our own sake, so that we no longer carry the burden of resentment.

It is love alone in the holy Deity that will allow no peace to the wicked, nor ever cease its judgments till every sinner is forced to confess that it is good for him that he has been in trouble, and thankfully own that not the wrath but the love of God has plucked out that right eye, cut off that right band, which he ought to have done but would not do for himself and his own salvation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can say what you want about his stuff, but his makeup is off the charts.
