The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holiness is the very principle of eternal life, the very beginning of eternal life in the heart, and that which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54653]]></link><description><![CDATA[Holiness is the very principle of eternal life, the very beginning of eternal life in the heart, and that which will certainly grow up to eternal life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman.
