For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a pity, when Christopher Columbus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41557]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a pity, when Christopher Columbus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Tyndale, Translator of the Scriptures, Martyr, 1536  Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Tyndale, Translator of the Scriptures, Martyr, 1536  Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not.
