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[The increase in the world's population represents our victory against death... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15734]]></link><description><![CDATA[The increase in the world's population represents our victory against death...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much work still needs to be done but nothing can take away from this victory, ... day of joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much work still needs to be done but nothing can take away from this victory, ... day of joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. -Salvor Hardin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. -Salvor Hardin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am convinced that the world is not a mere bog in which men and woman trample themselves in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21424]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am convinced that the world is not a mere bog in which men and woman trample themselves in the mire and die.
