It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I verily, absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/139]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I verily, absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, . . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What prevents a man's speaking good sense with a smile on his face? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50385]]></link><description><![CDATA[What prevents a man's speaking good sense with a smile on his face?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opposition is true friendship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opposition is true friendship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strict law is often great injustice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strict law is often great injustice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The market] is under-performing in terms of sales because it's tough to find something that works. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35449]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The market] is under-performing in terms of sales because it's tough to find something that works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But many a crime deemed innocent on earth Is registered in Heaven; and these no doubt  Have each their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10656]]></link><description><![CDATA[But many a crime deemed innocent on earth Is registered in Heaven; and these no doubt  Have each their record, with a curse annex'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let fortune empty her whole quiver on me. I have a soul that, like an ample shield,  Can take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let fortune empty her whole quiver on me. I have a soul that, like an ample shield,  Can take in all, and verge enough for more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21037]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sea returning day by day Restores the world-wide mart.  So let each dweller on the Bay   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4779]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sea returning day by day Restores the world-wide mart.  So let each dweller on the Bay   Fold Boston in his heart    Till these echoes be choked with snows     Or over the town blue ocean flows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A writer is congenitally unable to tell the truth and that is why we call what he writes fiction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15602]]></link><description><![CDATA[A writer is congenitally unable to tell the truth and that is why we call what he writes fiction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12148]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the soldier be abroad if he will, he can do nothing in this age.
