But the way to put a stop to this declension is not by accommodating the commands of God to the corrupt courses and ways of men. The truths of God and the holiness of His precepts must be pleaded and defended, though the world dislike them here and perish hereafter. His law must not be made to lackey after the wills of men, nor be dissolved by vain interpretations, because they complain they cannot -- indeed, because they will not -- comply with it. Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them, and to supply men with spiritual strength to fulfill them also. It is evil to break the least commandment; but there is a great aggravation of that evil in them that shall teach men so to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At thirty, man suspects himself a fool, Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan;  At fifty, chides his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43177]]></link><description><![CDATA[At thirty, man suspects himself a fool, Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan;  At fifty, chides his infamous delay,   Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve,    In all the magnanimity of thought;     Resolves, and re-resolves, then dies the same.      And why? because he thinks himself immortal,       All men think all men mortal but themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to bother you guys with a meeting request, so I was hoping you could pass on to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36846]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't want to bother you guys with a meeting request, so I was hoping you could pass on to Karl that Interior is about to approve a gaming compact and land in trust for a tribe which is an anathema to all our supporters down there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One more unfortunate Weary of breath,  Rashly importunate,   Gone to her death! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42806]]></link><description><![CDATA[One more unfortunate Weary of breath,  Rashly importunate,   Gone to her death!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All is well ended, if the suit be won. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51217]]></link><description><![CDATA[All is well ended, if the suit be won.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let firm, well hammer'd soles protect thy feet Through freezing snows, and rains, and soaking sleet;  Should the big ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let firm, well hammer'd soles protect thy feet Through freezing snows, and rains, and soaking sleet;  Should the big last extend the shoe too wide,   Each stone will wrench the unwary step aside;    The sudden turn may stretch the swelling vein,     The cracking joint unhinge, or ankle sprain;      And when too short the modish shoes are worn,       You'll judge the seasons by your shooting corn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If my fans think I can do everything I say I can do, then they're crazier than I am.
