And this case is usual in persons of quiet natural tempers, who have had the advantage of education under means of light and grace. God ofttimes, in such persons, begins and carries on the work of his grace insensibly, so that they come to good growth and maturity before they know that they are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the hand that erases can write the true thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the hand that erases can write the true thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy.

People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We kept urgency.
