If therefore we depart without profit, our zeal in frequenting the church will prove our condemnation. That so great a judgment comes not upon you, when ye go hence ponder the things ye have heard, and exercise yourselves in confirming our instruction -- friend with friend, fathers with their children, masters with their slaves -- so that, when ye return hither and hear from us the same counsels, ye may not be ashamed, but rejoice and be glad in the conviction that ye have put into practice the greater part of our exhortation. Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2854]]></link><description><![CDATA[You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have more confidence in ourselves.

Make me truly thankful for that portion of health which Thy mercy has restored, and enable me to use the remains of life to Thy glory and my own salvation. Take not from me, O Lord, Thy Holy Spirit. Extinguish in my mind all sinful and inordinate desires. Let me resolve to do that which is right, and let me by Thy help keep my resolutions. Let me, if it is best for me, at last know peace and comfort, but whatever state of life Thou shalt appoint me, let me end it by a happy death, and enjoy eternal happiness in Thy presence, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my day, we didn't have self-esteem, we had self-respect... and no. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2247]]></link><description><![CDATA[In my day, we didn't have self-esteem, we had self-respect... and no.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you can raise (a snowmaking gun) higher above the snow, the water droplets have a longer time to freeze ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33933]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you can raise (a snowmaking gun) higher above the snow, the water droplets have a longer time to freeze before they hit the ground, ...
