For you must be well aware that if we make an outward show of conversion to God without giving Him our hearts, it is only a shadow and pretence of virtue, and no true conversion. Any man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of other people and criticize their faults, imagining themselves to be something when in reality they are nothing. In this way they deceive themselves. Be careful to avoid this, and devote yourself inwardly to His likeness by humility, charity, and other spiritual virtues. In this way you will be truly converted to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go West, young man, and grow up with the country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go West, young man, and grow up with the country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man can be chained, but he cannot be domesticated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56951]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man can be chained, but he cannot be domesticated.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A live dog is better than a dead lion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50960]]></link><description><![CDATA[A live dog is better than a dead lion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11149]]></link><description><![CDATA[If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down?
