But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17758]]></link><description><![CDATA[More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think, therefore I'm single. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53333]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think, therefore I'm single.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9855]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased, and not impaired, in value.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Haste is slow. [Lat., Festinatio tarda est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Haste is slow. [Lat., Festinatio tarda est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Efficiency is intelligent laziness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Efficiency is intelligent laziness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a manner which matches the fortuity, if not the consequence, of Archimedes' bath and Newton's apple, the 3.6 million ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9347]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a manner which matches the fortuity, if not the consequence, of Archimedes' bath and Newton's apple, the 3.6 million year old fossil footprints were eventually noticed one evening in September 1976 by the paleontologist Andrew Hill, who fell while avoiding a ball of elephant dung hurled at him by the ecologist David Western.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hypocrite is in himself both the archer and the mark, in all actions shooting at his own praise or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20223]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hypocrite is in himself both the archer and the mark, in all actions shooting at his own praise or profit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are in love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62919]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are in love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is life outside the high-tech. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41889]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is life outside the high-tech.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have shown that regenerative medicine techniques can be used to generate functional bladders that are durable.

And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship.
