And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are God-like, and that God's grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture: and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man of three letters, " F U R." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50855]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man of three letters, " F U R."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing more hostile to a city that a tyrant, under whom in the first and chiefest place, there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59964]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing more hostile to a city that a tyrant, under whom in the first and chiefest place, there are not laws in common, but one man, keeping the law himself to himself, has the sway, and this is no longer equal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to the pure mind all things are pure, so to the poetic mind all things are poetical. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64906]]></link><description><![CDATA[As to the pure mind all things are pure, so to the poetic mind all things are poetical.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the motive be in the deed and not in the event.
