Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever my condition was improved, instead of its increasing my contentment, it only increased my desire to be free, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever my condition was improved, instead of its increasing my contentment, it only increased my desire to be free, and set me to thinking of plans to gain my freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will loose your sense of solitude on days when all the boaters come streaming by, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33906]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will loose your sense of solitude on days when all the boaters come streaming by,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10622]]></link><description><![CDATA[You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26958]]></link><description><![CDATA[A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a little like wrestling a gorilla.
