Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,  Or other, that we are not always strong, That we are ever overborne with care, That we should ever weak or heratless be, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy and strength and courage are with Thee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy man be his dole! -The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Many, indeed, will unreservedly declare, and more will hint, the opinion that the difference between the qualities above mentioned and religion, is rather a verbal or logical, than a real and essential difference; for in truth, what are they but religion in substance if not in name? Is it not the great end of religion, and, in particular, the glory of Christianity, to extinguish the malignant passions; to curb the violence, to control the appetites, and to smooth the asperities of man; to make us compassionate and kind, and forgiving one to another; to make us good husbands, good fathers, good friends; and to render us active and useful in the discharge of the relative social and civil duties? We do not deny that, in the general mass of society, and particularly in the lower orders, such conduct and tempers can not be diffused and maintained by any other medium than that of religion. But if the end be effected, surely it is only an unnecessary refinement to dispute about the means. It is even to forget your own principles; and to refuse its just place to solid, practical virtue, while you assign too high a value to speculative opinions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In George Bush you get experience, and with me you get - The Future! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47013]]></link><description><![CDATA[In George Bush you get experience, and with me you get - The Future!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lack of loyalty is one of the major causes of failure in every walk of life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25987]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lack of loyalty is one of the major causes of failure in every walk of life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...A being so gentle and so virtuous slander might wound, but could not dishonor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4024]]></link><description><![CDATA[...A being so gentle and so virtuous slander might wound, but could not dishonor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pittsburgh will have a world-class facility to help celebrate the achievements of African-Americans, educate visitors on the contributions of African-Americans ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pittsburgh will have a world-class facility to help celebrate the achievements of African-Americans, educate visitors on the contributions of African-Americans to the arts, culture, business and industry.
