They think a saying of Epictetus, or Seneca, or Arrianus, being wittily suited to their fancies and affections, to have more life and power in it than any precept of the Gospel. The reason why these things are more pleasing unto them than the commands and instructions of Christ is because, proceeding from the spring of natural light, they are suited to the workings of natural fancy and understanding; but those of Christ, proceeding from the fountain of eternal spiritual light, are not comprehended in their beauty and excellency without a principle of the same light in us, guiding our understanding and influencing our affections. Hence, take any precept, general or particular, about moral duties, that is materially the same in the writings of philosophers and in the doctrine of the Gospel; not a few prefer it as delivered in the first way before the latter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65338]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I often quote myself.

"In all their afflictions, He was afflicted." The relation of God to the woes of the world is not that of a mere spectator. The New Testament goes further, and says that God is love. But that is not love which, in the presence of acute suffering, can stand outside and aloof.
