But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He would always tell us to never let our guard down.

A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is commonly and truly also said: "Matters be ended as they be friended." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13791]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is commonly and truly also said: "Matters be ended as they be friended."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
