For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your great umbrage would care to meet my high dudgeon at 12 paces, I would be happy to entertain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30043]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your great umbrage would care to meet my high dudgeon at 12 paces, I would be happy to entertain you at dawn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(The impression is) that Dade County is like Alice in Wonderland where up is down, down is up.
