This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Read and read again, and do not despair of help to understand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Read and read again, and do not despair of help to understand the will and mind of God though you think they are fast locked up from you. Neither trouble your heads though you have not commentaries and exposition. Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men. Also, what is from men is uncertain, and is often lost and tumbled over by men; but what is from God is fixed as a nail in a sure place. There is nothing that so abides with us as what we receive from God; and the reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from men's mouths, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things. Things we receive at God's hands come to us as truths from the minting house, though old in themselves, yet new to us. Old truths are always new to us if they come with the smell of Heaven upon them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are men before they are lawyers, or physicians, or merchants, or manufacturers; and if you make them capable and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are men before they are lawyers, or physicians, or merchants, or manufacturers; and if you make them capable and sensible men, they will make themselves capable and sensible lawyers or physicians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God in making man intended by him to reduce all His Works back again to Himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20850]]></link><description><![CDATA[God in making man intended by him to reduce all His Works back again to Himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the end truth will out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51406]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the end truth will out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims.
