He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To marry is to halve your rights and double your duties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27115]]></link><description><![CDATA[To marry is to halve your rights and double your duties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mellifluous Shakespeare, whose enchanting Quill Commandeth Mirth or Passion, was but Will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mellifluous Shakespeare, whose enchanting Quill Commandeth Mirth or Passion, was but Will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What hath God wrought? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54858]]></link><description><![CDATA[What hath God wrought?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Except in the sacred texts of democracy and in the incantations of orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Except in the sacred texts of democracy and in the incantations of orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the majority is not at bottom a rule of force. What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven is above all yet; there sits a judge That no king can corrupt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven is above all yet; there sits a judge That no king can corrupt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is getting what you want.
