Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16740]]></link><description><![CDATA[True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sticks and stones may break your bones when there's anger to inpart.

But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What most we wish, with ease we fancy near. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61795]]></link><description><![CDATA[What most we wish, with ease we fancy near.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53727]]></link><description><![CDATA[Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, come, good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used.
