If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the births of living creatures, at first, are ill-shapen: so are all Innovations, which are the births of time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9468]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the births of living creatures, at first, are ill-shapen: so are all Innovations, which are the births of time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold him in conceited circles sail, Strutting and dancing and now planted stiff,  In all his pomp of pageantry, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behold him in conceited circles sail, Strutting and dancing and now planted stiff,  In all his pomp of pageantry, as if   He felt the eyes of Europe on his tail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got high expectations this year.
