You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When man to man shall be friend and brother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4948]]></link><description><![CDATA[When man to man shall be friend and brother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the institutional investor, there's a lot at stake this year if Bush doesn't win re-election, ...

And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to achieve immortality by being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, "Thou art my refuge, because Thou art my home". Such a faith will not lead to presumption. The man who can pray such a prayer will know better than another that God is not mocked; that He is not a man that He should repent; that tears and entreaties will not work on Him to the breach of one of His laws; that for God to give a man, because he asked for it, that which was not in harmony with His laws of truth and right, would be to damn him -- to cast him into the outer darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8212</guid></item></channel></rss>
