More learned, the formal logic of the schools would have robbed him of that flower of simplicity which is the great charm of his life; he would have seen the whole extent of the sore of the Church, and would no doubt have despaired of healing it. If he had known ecclesiastical discipline, he would have felt obliged to observe it; but, thanks to his ignorance, he could often violate it without knowing it, and be a heretic quite unawares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...originality consists of the achievement of new combinations, and not of the creation of something out of nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52008]]></link><description><![CDATA[...originality consists of the achievement of new combinations, and not of the creation of something out of nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now in his Palace of the West, Sinking to slumber, the bright Day,  Like a tired monarch fann'd to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now in his Palace of the West, Sinking to slumber, the bright Day,  Like a tired monarch fann'd to rest,   'Mid the cool airs of Evening lay;    While round his couch's golden rim     The gaudy clouds, like courtiers, crept--      Struggling each other's light to dim,       And catch his last smile e'er he slept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For death begins with life's first breathAnd life begins at touch of death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11315]]></link><description><![CDATA[For death begins with life's first breathAnd life begins at touch of death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1131]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20937]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The noble Lord (Stanley) was the Prince Rupert to the Parliamentary army--his valour did not always serve his own cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3045]]></link><description><![CDATA[The noble Lord (Stanley) was the Prince Rupert to the Parliamentary army--his valour did not always serve his own cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66568]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nigh to a grave that was newly made, Leaned a sexton old on his earth-worn spade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nigh to a grave that was newly made, Leaned a sexton old on his earth-worn spade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Same-sex marriage is not the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65348]]></link><description><![CDATA[Same-sex marriage is not the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity.

But the way to put a stop to this declension is not by accommodating the commands of God to the corrupt courses and ways of men. The truths of God and the holiness of His precepts must be pleaded and defended, though the world dislike them here and perish hereafter. His law must not be made to lackey after the wills of men, nor be dissolved by vain interpretations, because they complain they cannot -- indeed, because they will not -- comply with it. Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them, and to supply men with spiritual strength to fulfill them also. It is evil to break the least commandment; but there is a great aggravation of that evil in them that shall teach men so to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer.
