Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loud laughter is the mirth of the mob, who are only pleased with silly things; for true wit or good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24170]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loud laughter is the mirth of the mob, who are only pleased with silly things; for true wit or good sense never excited a laugh since the creation of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now scantier limits the proud arch confine, And scarce are seen the prostrate Nile or Rhine;  A small Euphrates ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54331]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now scantier limits the proud arch confine, And scarce are seen the prostrate Nile or Rhine;  A small Euphrates thro' the piece is roll'd,   And little eagles wave their wings in gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47593]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon.

And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If man is not made for God, why is he not happy except in God?
