Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of.

Then said he, I am going to my Father's; and though with great difficulty I have got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who will now be my rewarder. When the day that he must go hence was come, many accompanied him to the river-side, into which as he went, he said, "Death, where is thy sting?" And as he went down deeper, he said, "Grave, where is thy victory?" 1 Cor. 15:55. So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foundation of all morality is to have done, once and for all, with lying; to give up pretending to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53671]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foundation of all morality is to have done, once and for all, with lying; to give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibilities of knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love men, not for what unites them, but for what divides them, and I want to know most of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36190]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love men, not for what unites them, but for what divides them, and I want to know most of all what gnaws at their hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a system that is broken, ...
