This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now twilight lets her curtain down And pins it with a star. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now twilight lets her curtain down And pins it with a star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are haunters of the silence, ghosts that hold the heart and brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56279]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are haunters of the silence, ghosts that hold the heart and brain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You souls of geese, That bear the shapes of men, how have you run  From slaves that apes would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10499]]></link><description><![CDATA[You souls of geese, That bear the shapes of men, how have you run  From slaves that apes would men!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature uses as little as possible of anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature uses as little as possible of anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wealthy traveller fears an ambush, while one with empty pockets journeys on in safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50706]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wealthy traveller fears an ambush, while one with empty pockets journeys on in safety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56476]]></link><description><![CDATA[For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nail is driven out by another nail, habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Clavus clavo pellitur, consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18520]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nail is driven out by another nail, habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Clavus clavo pellitur, consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He says anything that first comes into his mouth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50620]]></link><description><![CDATA[He says anything that first comes into his mouth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27944]]></link><description><![CDATA[When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye to all excellence in poetry, in painting, and in music.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing here is that the government will stick to its policy of no ransom payments, ...
