Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The black family survived centuries of slavery and generations of Jim Crow, but it has disintegrated in the wake of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66526]]></link><description><![CDATA[The black family survived centuries of slavery and generations of Jim Crow, but it has disintegrated in the wake of the liberals' expansion of the welfare state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death my lord, Their clothes are after such a pagan cut to 't  That sure th' have worn out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15347]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death my lord, Their clothes are after such a pagan cut to 't  That sure th' have worn out Christendom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that hold the greatest farmes, pay the least rent (applyed to rich men that are unthankful to God). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49965]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that hold the greatest farmes, pay the least rent (applyed to rich men that are unthankful to God).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.

Just in the same way, dogmas and creeds cannot bring Christian unity, because human minds are not so uniformly created that they can unite in a single dogma or creed. Even our understanding of Christ Himself cannot be the basis of unity, because He is too big to be understood by any one person or group, and therefore our limited understandings do not always coincide. One emphasizes this point about Christ, another that; and this again becomes the cause of divisions. If we will only take our fellowship with Christ as the center of Christian faith, all Christians will realize their oneness... All our fellowship, however varied, is with the same Lord, and the same Saviour is our one Head.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the most talented team I've had at Meade.
