The fruits of the earth are the gift of God, and we pray for them as such; but yet we plant, and we sow, and we plough, for all that; and the hands which are sometimes lift up in prayer must at other times be put to the plough, or the husbandman must expect no crop. Everything must be effected in the way proper to its nature, with the concurrent influence of the divine grace, not to supersede the means, but to prosper and make them effectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is by nature a political animal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46936]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is by nature a political animal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If anything is spoken in jest, it is not fair to turn it to earnest. [Lat., Si quid dictum est ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23238]]></link><description><![CDATA[If anything is spoken in jest, it is not fair to turn it to earnest. [Lat., Si quid dictum est per jocum,  Non aequum est id te serio praevortier.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis not the food, but the content, That makes the table's merriment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13201]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis not the food, but the content, That makes the table's merriment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wrongs of a Husband or Master are not reproached. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49942]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wrongs of a Husband or Master are not reproached.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I'd type a little faster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36755]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I'd type a little faster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To accept a favor is to sell one's freedom. [Lat., Beneficium accipere, libertatem est vendere.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15482]]></link><description><![CDATA[To accept a favor is to sell one's freedom. [Lat., Beneficium accipere, libertatem est vendere.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Petite ville, grand renom. Small town, great renown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Petite ville, grand renom. Small town, great renown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dieu et mon droit.

That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Originality is the essence of true scholarship.
