If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be like a postage stamp.

But no one can give such a heart except the Spirit of God, who makes the person be like the law, so that he actually conceives a heartfelt longing for the law and henceforward does everything, not through fear or coercion, but from a free heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One can survive everything nowadays, except death, and live down anything, except a good reputation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11153]]></link><description><![CDATA[One can survive everything nowadays, except death, and live down anything, except a good reputation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How do I know pornography depraves and corrupts?

Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chances are not great that all counties in California, including ours, will be able to get enough machines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chances are not great that all counties in California, including ours, will be able to get enough machines.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avoid delays: procrastination always does harm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Avoid delays: procrastination always does harm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first half of life consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half consists of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13953]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first half of life consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half consists of the chance without the capacity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Transforms old print To zigzag manuscript, and cheats the eyes  Of gallery critics by a thousand arts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48249]]></link><description><![CDATA[Transforms old print To zigzag manuscript, and cheats the eyes  Of gallery critics by a thousand arts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So honour peereth in the meanest habit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51487]]></link><description><![CDATA[So honour peereth in the meanest habit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the roughest character, underneath all that hurt, is someone who wants to love and be loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the roughest character, underneath all that hurt, is someone who wants to love and be loved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every second. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27569]]></link><description><![CDATA[All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every second.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This gives us a very persistent presence in these portals and browsers, with voice-over-IP [Internet protocol], ...
