They think a saying of Epictetus, or Seneca, or Arrianus, being wittily suited to their fancies and affections, to have more life and power in it than any precept of the Gospel. The reason why these things are more pleasing unto them than the commands and instructions of Christ is because, proceeding from the spring of natural light, they are suited to the workings of natural fancy and understanding; but those of Christ, proceeding from the fountain of eternal spiritual light, are not comprehended in their beauty and excellency without a principle of the same light in us, guiding our understanding and influencing our affections. Hence, take any precept, general or particular, about moral duties, that is materially the same in the writings of philosophers and in the doctrine of the Gospel; not a few prefer it as delivered in the first way before the latter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed?

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though the power be wanting, yet the wish is praiseworthy. [Lat., Ut desint vires tamen est laudanda voluntas.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though the power be wanting, yet the wish is praiseworthy. [Lat., Ut desint vires tamen est laudanda voluntas.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20493]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man does his best, what else is there? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13642]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man does his best, what else is there?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gold once out of the earth is no more due unto it; what was unreasonably committed to the ground, is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gold once out of the earth is no more due unto it; what was unreasonably committed to the ground, is reasonably resumed from it; let monuments and rich fabricks, not riches, adorn men's ashes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43036</guid></item></channel></rss>
