You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a bit shocking no movie has done it by now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31687]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a bit shocking no movie has done it by now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be afraid of opposition.

Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wind, the wandering wind Of the golden summer eyes--  Whence is the thrilling magic   Of its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61646]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wind, the wandering wind Of the golden summer eyes--  Whence is the thrilling magic   Of its tunes amongst the leaves?    Oh, is it from the waters,     Or from the long, tall grass?      Or is it from the hollow rocks       Through which its breathings pass?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief product of an automated society is a widespread and deepening sense of boredom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief product of an automated society is a widespread and deepening sense of boredom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I, for one, hope that youth will again revolt and again demoralize the dead weight of conformity that now lies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9727]]></link><description><![CDATA[I, for one, hope that youth will again revolt and again demoralize the dead weight of conformity that now lies upon us]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9727</guid></item></channel></rss>
