But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I not only use all the brains I have, but all that I can borrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27527]]></link><description><![CDATA[I not only use all the brains I have, but all that I can borrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now spring returns; but not to me returns The vernal joy my better years have known;  Dim in my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now spring returns; but not to me returns The vernal joy my better years have known;  Dim in my breast life's dying taper burns,   And all the joys of life with health have flown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28095]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is commonly and truly also said: "Matters be ended as they be friended." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13791]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is commonly and truly also said: "Matters be ended as they be friended."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Department has refused to allow the firm to tell its story to a grand jury, in violation of both ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29658]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Department has refused to allow the firm to tell its story to a grand jury, in violation of both Department policy and the basic precepts of fundamental fairness,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anxiety in children is originally nothing other than an expression of the fact they are feeling the loss of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anxiety in children is originally nothing other than an expression of the fact they are feeling the loss of the person they love]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adams first law of survival: Get even first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adams first law of survival: Get even first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Start living now.

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from those very things for which you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And when you stick on conversation's burs, Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10094]]></link><description><![CDATA[And when you stick on conversation's burs, Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At all times it is better to have a method. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9878]]></link><description><![CDATA[At all times it is better to have a method.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something.
