If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[has no knowledge of the facts of the murder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36854]]></link><description><![CDATA[has no knowledge of the facts of the murder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try to be like the turtle -- at ease in your own shell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try to be like the turtle -- at ease in your own shell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2025]]></link><description><![CDATA[In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thirty is not an age for a woman anymore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thirty is not an age for a woman anymore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying... that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56116]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying... that he is wiser today than yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of any we have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age.
