And the chief of them is this: "Do not lie to God." And that curt piece of advice, so bluntly thrown down for us, is indeed all-important. Do not burn false fire upon God's altar; do not pose and pretend, either to Him or to yourself, in your religious exercises; do not say more than you mean, or use exagerated language that goes beyond the facts, when speaking to Him whose word is truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some parents say it is toy guns that make boys warlike.

I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9839]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis said the lion will turn and flee From a maid in the pride of her purity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48774]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis said the lion will turn and flee From a maid in the pride of her purity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Lyons skin is never cheape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49052]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Lyons skin is never cheape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60510]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although we have received many calls expressing concerns and anger about this incident, we have not received any calls which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although we have received many calls expressing concerns and anger about this incident, we have not received any calls which will allow us to assist in resolving this case.

Jupiter,after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him tobe sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he hadheavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, hepetitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling himthat it would be the last time that he could grant his request,ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he hadfallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,said, groaning: It would have been better for me to have beeneither starved by the one, or to have been overworked by theother of my former masters, than to have been bought by mypresent owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, andmake me useful to him.He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have developed this capability.
