Does he think that in that way he will have straightway persuaded us to have complete confidence in him, to look to him for consolation, for advice, and for help, in the vicissitudes of life? Do such men think that they have delighted us by telling us that they hold our souls to be nothing but a little wind and smoke -- and by saying it in conceited and complacent tones? Is that a thing to say blithely? Is it not rather a thing to say sadly -- as if it were the saddest thing in the world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They who have reasoned ignorantly, or who have aimed at effecting their personal ends by flattering the popular feeling, have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47095]]></link><description><![CDATA[They who have reasoned ignorantly, or who have aimed at effecting their personal ends by flattering the popular feeling, have boldly affirmed that "one man is as good as another;" a maxim that is true in neither nature, revealed morals, nor political theory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thought hath good leggs, and the quill a good tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49920]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thought hath good leggs, and the quill a good tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a piece of the universe made alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26275]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a piece of the universe made alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that hath a Fox for his mate, hath neede of a net at his girdle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that hath a Fox for his mate, hath neede of a net at his girdle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not a deceiver, that he should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8443]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not a deceiver, that he should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make any gain some outlay is necessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50895]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make any gain some outlay is necessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You need to get there early...I suggest you wait a week or so, the interest will fade and you should ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38292]]></link><description><![CDATA[You need to get there early...I suggest you wait a week or so, the interest will fade and you should be able to attend.
