It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Set a thief to catch a thief ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Set a thief to catch a thief]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I observe that Christ and His forerunner John in their parabolic discourses were wont to allude to things present.

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We find it hard to believe that other people's thoughts are as silly as our own, but they probably are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59222]]></link><description><![CDATA[We find it hard to believe that other people's thoughts are as silly as our own, but they probably are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fish not, with this melancholy bait, For this fool gudgeon, this opinion. -The Merchant of Venice.
