If he had been asked what especially he conceived his own duty to be, he would have said that it was to force men to realize once more that the world was actually governed by a just God; that the old familiar story, acknowledged everywhere in words on Sundays and disregarded or openly denied on week-days, was, after all, true. His writings, every one of them, ... were to this same purpose and on this same text -- that truth must be spoken and justice must be done; on any other conditions, no real commonwealth, no common welfare, is permitted or possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[heat from impending searches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38669]]></link><description><![CDATA[heat from impending searches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been increasingly difficult to buy even a 30-acre piece. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29144]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been increasingly difficult to buy even a 30-acre piece.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want success, then don't rely on other people to do what YOU can do! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26381]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want success, then don't rely on other people to do what YOU can do!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's important that the community has its questions answered and its concerns addressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40428]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's important that the community has its questions answered and its concerns addressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little boats should keep near shore ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Little boats should keep near shore]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No sooner is a Temple built to God but the Devill builds a Chappell hard by. [No sooner is a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8677]]></link><description><![CDATA[No sooner is a Temple built to God but the Devill builds a Chappell hard by. [No sooner is a Temple built to God but the Devil builds a chapel hard by.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant! But yet you draw not iron, for my heart  Is true as steel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15633]]></link><description><![CDATA[You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant! But yet you draw not iron, for my heart  Is true as steel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white.
