If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without favour none will know you, and with it you will not know your selfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50121]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without favour none will know you, and with it you will not know your selfe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember tonight.. for it is the beginning of always. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember tonight.. for it is the beginning of always.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25474]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have but one, and only hate, We love as one, we hate as one,  We have one foe ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18857]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have but one, and only hate, We love as one, we hate as one,  We have one foe and one alone.   [Ger., Wir haben nur einen einzigen Hass,    Wir lieben vereint, wir hassen vereint,     Wir haben nur einen einzigen Feind.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to honor -- you know -- it's a very fine mediaeval inheritance which women never got hold of.

So he automatically writes off any Biblical account of a wondrous happening which suggests that there is an order of reality transcending the observable regularities of nature and occasionally breaking in upon them. Nor is rational skepticism content with jettisoning the Bible's miracle stories. It also dismisses other passages on the grounds that they reflect the ignorance and prejudice of a particular age, or the propaganda interests of the Church at a particular stage of its development. Its basic rule of Biblical interpretation is: "When in doubt, throw it out." And the highest scores in the game of radical reductionism are awarded to pedagogues who find the most novel and far-fetched reasons for doubting that any part of the Bible really means what it says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11406]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Banner advertising for us is extremely important. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Banner advertising for us is extremely important.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm stopped.
