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[Many things happen between the cup and the upper lip. [Lat., Multa intersunt calicem et labrum summum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many things happen between the cup and the upper lip. [Lat., Multa intersunt calicem et labrum summum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revolutions are not trifles, but spring from trifles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revolutions are not trifles, but spring from trifles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wan night, the shadow goer, came stepping in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wan night, the shadow goer, came stepping in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The historian sees backward.

But the Devil has. The Devil knows that as long as he can control human pride it does not matter how many prayer meetings, how many services, how much devotion goes on -- he can still wrack any group of Christians, sooner or later, and frustrate God's purpose for them, and for the world.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn August 11, 1999 Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   Never... think we have a due knowledge of ourselves till we have been exposed to various kinds of temptations, and tried on every side. Integrity on one side of our character is no voucher for integrity on another. We cannot tell how we should act if brought under temptations different from those we have hitherto experienced. This thought should keep us humble. We are sinners, but we do not know how great.
