For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That knuckle-end of England--that land of Calvin, oat-cakes, and sulphur. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54895]]></link><description><![CDATA[That knuckle-end of England--that land of Calvin, oat-cakes, and sulphur.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winding up days with toil and nights with sleep. -King Henry V.

How would the man interpret it? Would it not mean to him, "You may go on hating. I do not mind it. You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate?" No doubt God takes what wrong there is, and what provocation there is, into the account; but the more provocation, the more excuse that can be urged for the hate, the more reason, if possible, that the hater should be delivered from the hell of his hate, that God's child should be made the loving child that He meant him to be. The man would think, not that God loved the sinner, but that He forgave the sin, which God never does. Every sin meets its due fate -- inexorable expulsion from the paradise of God's Humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on the proper occasions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54671]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on the proper occasions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All crime is a kind of disease and should be treated as such. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10689]]></link><description><![CDATA[All crime is a kind of disease and should be treated as such.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The focus of tolerance education is to deal with the concept of equality and fairness.
