Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis not for mortals always to be blest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4310]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis not for mortals always to be blest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Day hath put on his jacket, and around His burning bosom buttoned it with stars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Day hath put on his jacket, and around His burning bosom buttoned it with stars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crises refine life.

But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60183]]></link><description><![CDATA[In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Starred forget-me-nots smile sweetly, Ring, bluebells, ring!  Winning eye and heart completely,   Sing, robin, sing!   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57785]]></link><description><![CDATA[Starred forget-me-nots smile sweetly, Ring, bluebells, ring!  Winning eye and heart completely,   Sing, robin, sing!    All among the reeds and rushes,     Where the brook its music hushes,      Bright the caloposon blushes,__       Laugh, O murmuring Spring!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poets arent very usefulBecause they aren't consumeful or produceful.. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poets arent very usefulBecause they aren't consumeful or produceful..]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final mystery is oneself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43548]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final mystery is oneself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I sat at the Cafe I said to myself, They may talk as they please about what they call ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42963]]></link><description><![CDATA[As I sat at the Cafe I said to myself, They may talk as they please about what they call pelf,  They may sneer as they like about eating and drinking,   But help it I cannot, I cannot help thinking    How pleasant it is to have money, heigh-ho!     How pleasant it is to have money!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live out of your imagination instead of out of your memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21543]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live out of your imagination instead of out of your memory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Cause grace and virtue are within Prohibited degrees of kin;  And therefore no true saint allows,   They ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26557]]></link><description><![CDATA['Cause grace and virtue are within Prohibited degrees of kin;  And therefore no true saint allows,   They shall be suffer'd to espouse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success: To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success: To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
