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[Now the bright morning star, day's harbinger, Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her  The flowery May, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now the bright morning star, day's harbinger, Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her  The flowery May, who from her green lap throws   The yellow cowslip, and the pale primrose.    Hail, bounteous May, that doth inspire     Mirth, and youth, and warm desire;      Woods and groves are of thy dressing,       Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing,        Thus we salute thee with our early song,         And welcome thee, and wish thee long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere to go.
