All pious persons should study to fortify themselves with these counsels, lest, while they consider themselves as valiant and strenuous defenders of righteousness, they depart from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the only Kingdom of righteousness. For since it is the will of God that the communion of his church should be maintained in this external society, those who, from an aversion of wicked men, destroy the token of that society, enter on a course in which they are in great danger of falling from the communion of the saints.   .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the ear Drops the light drip of the suspended oar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4397]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the ear Drops the light drip of the suspended oar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words pay no debts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words pay no debts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If America's seen as being indifferent or even attacking the prophet, a lot of Muslims are going to say it's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28570]]></link><description><![CDATA[If America's seen as being indifferent or even attacking the prophet, a lot of Muslims are going to say it's an attack on Islam.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't take life too seriously.
