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[When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11772]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28164]]></link><description><![CDATA[All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The finest command of language is often shown by saying nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44662]]></link><description><![CDATA[The finest command of language is often shown by saying nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soprano, basso, even the contra-alto Wished him five fathom under the Rialto. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soprano, basso, even the contra-alto Wished him five fathom under the Rialto.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all easily taught to imitate what is base and depraved. [Lat., Dociles imitandis  Turpibus ac pravis omnes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20571]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all easily taught to imitate what is base and depraved. [Lat., Dociles imitandis  Turpibus ac pravis omnes sumus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20571</guid></item></channel></rss>
