We pray, too often, not to do God's will, but to enlist God's assistance in maintaining our "continually increasing consumption".

Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many composers become involved in intellectual speculation which seems to matter more to them than the sound that comes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too many composers become involved in intellectual speculation which seems to matter more to them than the sound that comes out of all this speculation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Net used to be 50 percent men and 50 percent men pretending to be women, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41418]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Net used to be 50 percent men and 50 percent men pretending to be women,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man does his best, what else is there? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13642]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man does his best, what else is there?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Engrave this Quote 	The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Engrave this Quote 	The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, and this you will become.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government in the U.S. today is a senior partner in every business in the country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Government in the U.S. today is a senior partner in every business in the country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw the chair in design magazines.
