The first: that the consciences of believers, in seeking assurance of their justification before God, should rise above and advance beyond the law, forgetting all law righteousness... The second part, dependent upon the first, is that consciences observe the law, not as if constrained by the necessity of the law, but that freed from the law's yoke they willingly obey God's will... The third part of Christian freedom lies in this: regarding outward things that are of themselves "indifferent", we are not bound before God by any religious obligation preventing us from sometimes using them and other times not using them, indifferently... Accordingly, it is perversely interpreted both by those who allege it as an excuse for their desires that they may abuse God's good gifts to their own lust and by those who think that freedom does not exist unless it is used before men, and consequently, in using it have no regard for weaker brethren... Nothing is plainer than this rule: that we should use our freedom if it results in the edification of our neighbor, but if it does not help our neighbor, then we should forego it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Profanity is the result of a weak mind trying to express itself forcably ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Profanity is the result of a weak mind trying to express itself forcably]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For thence,--a paradox Which comforts while it mocks,--  Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail:   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45488]]></link><description><![CDATA[For thence,--a paradox Which comforts while it mocks,--  Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail:   What I aspired to be,    And was not, comforts me:     A brute I might have been, but would not sink i' the scale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Free livers on a small scale; who are prodigal within the compass of a guinea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Free livers on a small scale; who are prodigal within the compass of a guinea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3810]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeits of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16425]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeits of our own behavior, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and stars; as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition on the charge of a star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the curious will learn and only the resolute overcome the obstacles to learning.
