Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comfort is the only thing our civilization can give us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8982]]></link><description><![CDATA[Comfort is the only thing our civilization can give us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The employment picture remains fairly grim, and that's having a dampening effect on measures of consumer confidence.

It is the clean, clear cut teaching of God's Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well named, and well learned, the letter which kills.
