Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20477]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the first time anywhere in the United States, an appellate court has ruled that such private communities are 'constitutional ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35083]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the first time anywhere in the United States, an appellate court has ruled that such private communities are 'constitutional actors' and must therefore respect their members' freedom of speech.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Petite ville, grand renom. Small town, great renown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Petite ville, grand renom. Small town, great renown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation  The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8249]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation  The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies.
