And, if you find it, remember how that it is God's appointing that you shall now behold this sin in another, in order that you may be brought to acknowledge and repent of it; and amend your ways and pray for your brother, that God may grant him repentance and amendment according to His Divine Will. Thus a good heart draws amendment from the sins of others, and is guarded from all harsh judgment and wrath, and preserves an even temper; while an evil heart puts the worst interpretation on all that it sees, and turns it to its own hurt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And wanting the right rule they take chalke for cheese, as the saying is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54246]]></link><description><![CDATA[And wanting the right rule they take chalke for cheese, as the saying is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time Warner doesn't comment on rumors and speculation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time Warner doesn't comment on rumors and speculation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold him setting in his western skies, The shadows lengthening as the vapours rise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behold him setting in his western skies, The shadows lengthening as the vapours rise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's definitely nice to get in.
