In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ideal of self-advancement which the civilizing west offers to backward populations brings with it the plague of individual frustration. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56850]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ideal of self-advancement which the civilizing west offers to backward populations brings with it the plague of individual frustration.

This, however, must not be a superstitious observance of hours, by which, as it were, performing a task to God, we think we are discharged as to other hours. It should rather be considered a discipline by which our weakness is exercised and stimulated.
