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[This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62268]]></link><description><![CDATA[This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of energy in our great men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An inability to stay quiet is one of the conspicuous failings of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52796]]></link><description><![CDATA[An inability to stay quiet is one of the conspicuous failings of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some.
