For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mountains are earth's undecaying monuments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mountains are earth's undecaying monuments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy is a partnership, Grief weeps alone,  Many guests had Cana;   Gethsemane but one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy is a partnership, Grief weeps alone,  Many guests had Cana;   Gethsemane but one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, the highest type of efficiency is that which can utilize existing material to the best advantage ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13610]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously, the highest type of efficiency is that which can utilize existing material to the best advantage]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are their followers who do not believe in the direction of the peace talks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34270]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are their followers who do not believe in the direction of the peace talks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're going to do something tonight that you'll be sorry for tomorrow, sleep late. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52179]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're going to do something tonight that you'll be sorry for tomorrow, sleep late.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to get a job as someone who names kitchen appliances.
