They think a saying of Epictetus, or Seneca, or Arrianus, being wittily suited to their fancies and affections, to have more life and power in it than any precept of the Gospel. The reason why these things are more pleasing unto them than the commands and instructions of Christ is because, proceeding from the spring of natural light, they are suited to the workings of natural fancy and understanding; but those of Christ, proceeding from the fountain of eternal spiritual light, are not comprehended in their beauty and excellency without a principle of the same light in us, guiding our understanding and influencing our affections. Hence, take any precept, general or particular, about moral duties, that is materially the same in the writings of philosophers and in the doctrine of the Gospel; not a few prefer it as delivered in the first way before the latter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is in political life what faith is in religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is in political life what faith is in religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the local level, revenues which exceed the limit will have to be used to reduce local property taxes; at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41995]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the local level, revenues which exceed the limit will have to be used to reduce local property taxes; at the state level, revenues beyond the limit can be used to reduce existing taxes or as cash rebates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought Andrew did a great job (defensively).

Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the end of Fame?
