But the way to put a stop to this declension is not by accommodating the commands of God to the corrupt courses and ways of men. The truths of God and the holiness of His precepts must be pleaded and defended, though the world dislike them here and perish hereafter. His law must not be made to lackey after the wills of men, nor be dissolved by vain interpretations, because they complain they cannot -- indeed, because they will not -- comply with it. Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them, and to supply men with spiritual strength to fulfill them also. It is evil to break the least commandment; but there is a great aggravation of that evil in them that shall teach men so to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing [a people] to slavery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.

Not necessarily that he must feel affection for them -- that is not always possible in this life, though it will be in heaven -- but that he must treat them as love dictates, doing always for others what he would that they should do for him.  ... A. C. McGiffert, A History of Christian Thought  August 21, 2000   At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If my opinion is of any worth, the fieldfare is the greatest delicacy among birds, the hare among quadrupeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13236]]></link><description><![CDATA[If my opinion is of any worth, the fieldfare is the greatest delicacy among birds, the hare among quadrupeds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being English, I always laugh at anything to do with the lavatory or bottoms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being English, I always laugh at anything to do with the lavatory or bottoms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who trust us educate us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who trust us educate us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People always come up to me and say that my smoking is bothering them...

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a way to do it better - find it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64033]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a way to do it better - find it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men at some times are masters of their fates. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51280]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men at some times are masters of their fates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you ever reach total enlightenment while drinking beer, I bet you could shoot beer out of you nose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11707]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you ever reach total enlightenment while drinking beer, I bet you could shoot beer out of you nose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We spirits have just such natures We had for all the world, when human creatures;  And, therefore, I, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19133]]></link><description><![CDATA[We spirits have just such natures We had for all the world, when human creatures;  And, therefore, I, that was an actress here,   Play all my tricks in hell, a goblin there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talent does what it can, and genius does what it must. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talent does what it can, and genius does what it must.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person who can write a long letter with ease, cannot write ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37235]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person who can write a long letter with ease, cannot write ill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14711]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This deal with Iran is probably the most apparent thing driving prices up.
