I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yuppies don't have loyalty.
