Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smell a rat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smell a rat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nowhere in the world where sleep is so deep as in the libraries of the House of Commons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56627]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nowhere in the world where sleep is so deep as in the libraries of the House of Commons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that should have what hee hath not, should doe what he doth not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that should have what hee hath not, should doe what he doth not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's so much better to desire than to have. . . .

Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the first competitive grant cycle where organizations had the opportunity to apply for grant funding.
