But what doth the Christian like this? None is ashamed, none repenteth, save that he was not such long ago. If he be marked down, he glorieth; if accused, maketh no defense; being questioned, confesseth even of his own accord; being condemned, giveth thanks. What manner of evil is this, which hath not the natural marks of evil, fear, shame, shrinking, penitence, sorrow? What manner of evil is this, whereof he that is accused rejoiceth?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O fair undress, best dress! it checks no vein, But every flowing limb in pleasure drowns,  And heightens ease ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2768]]></link><description><![CDATA[O fair undress, best dress! it checks no vein, But every flowing limb in pleasure drowns,  And heightens ease with grace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  Irresponsible spending is the scandal of Christian America, in the face ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  Irresponsible spending is the scandal of Christian America, in the face of the world's need. The American standard of living has risen to unprecedented heights, although a large portion of the world exists on a sub-human level. Philanthropy, as we practice it, is not enough --- although the word philanthropy actually means brotherhood.
