They think a saying of Epictetus, or Seneca, or Arrianus, being wittily suited to their fancies and affections, to have more life and power in it than any precept of the Gospel. The reason why these things are more pleasing unto them than the commands and instructions of Christ is because, proceeding from the spring of natural light, they are suited to the workings of natural fancy and understanding; but those of Christ, proceeding from the fountain of eternal spiritual light, are not comprehended in their beauty and excellency without a principle of the same light in us, guiding our understanding and influencing our affections. Hence, take any precept, general or particular, about moral duties, that is materially the same in the writings of philosophers and in the doctrine of the Gospel; not a few prefer it as delivered in the first way before the latter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is there to come, and nothing past, But an eternal Now does always last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is there to come, and nothing past, But an eternal Now does always last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only risk of failure is promotion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48406]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only risk of failure is promotion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself.

Born in a manger, and crucified as a malefactor, He now controls the destinies of the civilized world, and rules a spiritual empire which embraces one-third of the inhabitants of the globe. There never was in this world a life so unpretending, modest, and lowly in its outward form and condition, and yet producing such extraordinary effects upon all ages, nations, and classes of men. The annals of history produce no other example of such complete and astonishing success in spite of the absence of those material, social, literary, and artistic powers and influences which are indispensable to success for a mere man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good newes may bee told at any time, but ill in the morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good newes may bee told at any time, but ill in the morning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything else has gone OK, but the salaries are the sticking point. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything else has gone OK, but the salaries are the sticking point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41150</guid></item></channel></rss>
