This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just try explaining the value of statistical summaries to the widow of the man who drowned crossing a stream with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just try explaining the value of statistical summaries to the widow of the man who drowned crossing a stream with an average depth of four feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Rome! my country! city of the soul! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54400]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Rome! my country! city of the soul!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much converse do I find in thee, Historian of my infancy!  Float near me; do not yet depart!  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much converse do I find in thee, Historian of my infancy!  Float near me; do not yet depart!   Dead times revive in thee:    Thou bring'st, gay creature as thou art!     A solemn image to my heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59363]]></link><description><![CDATA[The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ISE could buy some of these traditional floor markets that have decent flow, like the Amex.
