This makes them self-sufficient, morose, severe judges of all those that fall short of their mortifications. And thus their self-denials do only that for them which indulgences do for other people: they withstand and hinder the operation of God upon their souls, and instead of being really self-denials, they strengthen and keep up the kingdom of self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In King Cambyses' vein. -King Henry IV.

The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross. As we have seen, only as the circle of the love of Jesus becomes world wide and as big as history will it be complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In principle, there are no problems. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28337]]></link><description><![CDATA[In principle, there are no problems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tailor, though a man of upright dealing,-- True but for lying,--honest but for stealing,--  Did fall one day ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58562]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tailor, though a man of upright dealing,-- True but for lying,--honest but for stealing,--  Did fall one day extremely sick by chance   And on the sudden was in wondrous trance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole town laughed at my great-grandfather, just because he worked hard and saved his money.

True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out every day. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town, and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then.
