Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our special teams tonight were the difference.

For to seek for eminence and significancy in grace is but like seeking for eminence and significancy in nature. And the old man can relish glory and distinction in religion as well as in common life, and will be content to undergo as many labours, pains, and self-denials for the sake of religious, as for the sake of secular glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is exhausted and would die in prison if he stays in captivity another year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29825]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is exhausted and would die in prison if he stays in captivity another year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
