Many, indeed, will unreservedly declare, and more will hint, the opinion that the difference between the qualities above mentioned and religion, is rather a verbal or logical, than a real and essential difference; for in truth, what are they but religion in substance if not in name? Is it not the great end of religion, and, in particular, the glory of Christianity, to extinguish the malignant passions; to curb the violence, to control the appetites, and to smooth the asperities of man; to make us compassionate and kind, and forgiving one to another; to make us good husbands, good fathers, good friends; and to render us active and useful in the discharge of the relative social and civil duties? We do not deny that, in the general mass of society, and particularly in the lower orders, such conduct and tempers can not be diffused and maintained by any other medium than that of religion. But if the end be effected, surely it is only an unnecessary refinement to dispute about the means. It is even to forget your own principles; and to refuse its just place to solid, practical virtue, while you assign too high a value to speculative opinions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Use it or lose it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Use it or lose it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand?

At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beautiful.(in reply to her husband who had asked how she felt moments before her death.). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beautiful.(in reply to her husband who had asked how she felt moments before her death.).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We praise old times, but show no curiosity about modern events. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51673]]></link><description><![CDATA[We praise old times, but show no curiosity about modern events.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She sounded like somebody who would be capable of taking care of Melissa.
