This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One joy shatters a hundred griefs ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18319]]></link><description><![CDATA[One joy shatters a hundred griefs]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There lies more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half thecreeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21920]]></link><description><![CDATA[There lies more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half thecreeds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under conditions of tyranny, it is far easier to act than to think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under conditions of tyranny, it is far easier to act than to think.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The unsunn'd heaps Of miser's treasures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42741]]></link><description><![CDATA[The unsunn'd heaps Of miser's treasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mad fellow met me on the way and told me I had unloaded all the gibbets and pressed the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55892]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mad fellow met me on the way and told me I had unloaded all the gibbets and pressed the dead bodies.
