This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet even her tyranny had such a grace, The women pardoned all, except her face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet even her tyranny had such a grace, The women pardoned all, except her face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ignorance, madam, pure ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ignorance, madam, pure ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like Christmas.

As long as the war lasted, he looked upon him as his fellow-helper in all emergencies and fed him carefully with hay and corn. But when the war was over, he only allowed him chaff to eat and made him carry heavy loads of wood, subjecting him to much slavish drudgery and ill-treatment. War was again proclaimed, however, and when the trumpet summoned him to his standard, the Soldier put on his charger its military trappings, and mounted, being clad in his heavy coat of mail. The Horse fell down straightway under the weight, no longer equal to the burden, and said to his master, You must now go to the war on foot, for you have transformed me from a Horse into an Ass; and how can you expect that I can again turn in a moment from an Ass to a Horse?'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God save the mark. -King Henry IV.
