And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idealist: a cynic in the making. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idealist: a cynic in the making.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've come here with several things on our mind and goals to achieve, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41974]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've come here with several things on our mind and goals to achieve,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avoid making irrevocable decisions when tired or hungry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Avoid making irrevocable decisions when tired or hungry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to appreciate you without judging.

People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives.
