Many, indeed, will unreservedly declare, and more will hint, the opinion that the difference between the qualities above mentioned and religion, is rather a verbal or logical, than a real and essential difference; for in truth, what are they but religion in substance if not in name? Is it not the great end of religion, and, in particular, the glory of Christianity, to extinguish the malignant passions; to curb the violence, to control the appetites, and to smooth the asperities of man; to make us compassionate and kind, and forgiving one to another; to make us good husbands, good fathers, good friends; and to render us active and useful in the discharge of the relative social and civil duties? We do not deny that, in the general mass of society, and particularly in the lower orders, such conduct and tempers can not be diffused and maintained by any other medium than that of religion. But if the end be effected, surely it is only an unnecessary refinement to dispute about the means. It is even to forget your own principles; and to refuse its just place to solid, practical virtue, while you assign too high a value to speculative opinions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds, And though a late, a sure reward succeeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4315]]></link><description><![CDATA[For blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds, And though a late, a sure reward succeeds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48227]]></link><description><![CDATA[The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is our Lord's will, ... that our prayer and our trust be, alike, large.

For if we do not trust as much as we pray, we fail in full worship to our Lord in our prayer; and also we hinder and hurt ourselves. The reason is that we do not know truly that our Lord is the ground from which our prayer springeth; nor do we know that it is given us by his grace and his love. If we knew this, it would make us trust to have of our Lord's gifts all that we desire. For I am sure that no man asketh mercy and grace with sincerity, without mercy and grace being given to him first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If our inward griefs were seen written on our brow, how many would be pitied who are now envied! [It., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18339]]></link><description><![CDATA[If our inward griefs were seen written on our brow, how many would be pitied who are now envied! [It., Se a ciascun l'interno affanno  Si leggesse in fronte scritto,   Quanti mai, che invidia fanno,    Ci farebbero pieta!]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even memory is not necessary for love.
