This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything can happen.

With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. Pray save me, Master, he said, and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56481]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62815]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65334]]></link><description><![CDATA[For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're really wanting to create an environment of continuous education.
