It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man. This is proud obstinacy and sacrilegious presumption, originating in a corrupt frenzy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2283]]></link><description><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it -- this is a hard lesson.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think someone should have had the decency to tell me the luncheon was free.
