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[From Stirling Castle we had seen The mazy Forth unravelled;  Had trod the banks of Clyde and Tay,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54335]]></link><description><![CDATA[From Stirling Castle we had seen The mazy Forth unravelled;  Had trod the banks of Clyde and Tay,   And with the Tweed had travelled;    And when we came to Clovenford,     Then said "my winsome marrow,"      "Whate'er betide, we'll turn aside,       And see the braes of Yarrow."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion has not civilized man, man has civilized religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion has not civilized man, man has civilized religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good to vary in order that you may frustrate the curious, especially those who envy you. - The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27724]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good to vary in order that you may frustrate the curious, especially those who envy you. - The Oracle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, I love hugging.
