All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If two wrongs don't make a right, try three. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57879]]></link><description><![CDATA[If two wrongs don't make a right, try three.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The covers of this book are too far apart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4539]]></link><description><![CDATA[The covers of this book are too far apart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15405]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of people say to me, "Why did you kill Christ?"

Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Brooks of Sheffield": "'Somebody's sharp.'
