The fruits of the earth are the gift of God, and we pray for them as such; but yet we plant, and we sow, and we plough, for all that; and the hands which are sometimes lift up in prayer must at other times be put to the plough, or the husbandman must expect no crop. Everything must be effected in the way proper to its nature, with the concurrent influence of the divine grace, not to supersede the means, but to prosper and make them effectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often despise what we really fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44243]]></link><description><![CDATA[We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often despise what we really fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25717]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sculpture is more than painting.

A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17428]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Aziz's patrol continues on past one of the two main mosques in Karmah.
