Many, indeed, will unreservedly declare, and more will hint, the opinion that the difference between the qualities above mentioned and religion, is rather a verbal or logical, than a real and essential difference; for in truth, what are they but religion in substance if not in name? Is it not the great end of religion, and, in particular, the glory of Christianity, to extinguish the malignant passions; to curb the violence, to control the appetites, and to smooth the asperities of man; to make us compassionate and kind, and forgiving one to another; to make us good husbands, good fathers, good friends; and to render us active and useful in the discharge of the relative social and civil duties? We do not deny that, in the general mass of society, and particularly in the lower orders, such conduct and tempers can not be diffused and maintained by any other medium than that of religion. But if the end be effected, surely it is only an unnecessary refinement to dispute about the means. It is even to forget your own principles; and to refuse its just place to solid, practical virtue, while you assign too high a value to speculative opinions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45922]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We won't have a society if we destroy the environment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13312]]></link><description><![CDATA[We won't have a society if we destroy the environment]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would like to be a positive force for young girls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66294]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would like to be a positive force for young girls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would rather have one man or woman working with us than three merely working for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2123]]></link><description><![CDATA[We would rather have one man or woman working with us than three merely working for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your own property is concerned when your neighbor's house is on fire. [Lat., Tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your own property is concerned when your neighbor's house is on fire. [Lat., Tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But now our fate from unmomentous things, may rise like rivers out of little springs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11324]]></link><description><![CDATA[But now our fate from unmomentous things, may rise like rivers out of little springs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A player whose only offence in the past five years was a financial sanction will be eligible for a five-year ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28458]]></link><description><![CDATA[A player whose only offence in the past five years was a financial sanction will be eligible for a five-year good record.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where the nightingale doth sing Not a senseless, tranced thing,  But divine melodious truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44546]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where the nightingale doth sing Not a senseless, tranced thing,  But divine melodious truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There shall be in England seven halfpenny loaves sold for a penny; the three-hooped pot shall have ten hoops; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48495]]></link><description><![CDATA[There shall be in England seven halfpenny loaves sold for a penny; the three-hooped pot shall have ten hoops; and I will make it felony to drink small beer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bed has become a place of luxury to me!

Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him. Since He is here and speaking to us, face to face, it is for us, in a hush of spirit, to listen for and to His voice, reproving counseling, encouraging, revealing His most blessed will for us; and, with diligence, to set about immediate obedience. This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things do not change; we change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things do not change; we change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always hoped for a show that was realistic and provocative and moving and funny.
