The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There with commutual zeal we both had strove In acts of dear benevolence and love;  Brothers in peace, not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60139]]></link><description><![CDATA[There with commutual zeal we both had strove In acts of dear benevolence and love;  Brothers in peace, not rivals in command.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I couldn't use the public restrooms because they weren't working.
