Therefore I do not see how it is possible in the nature of things for any revival of religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these cannot but produce riches. But as riches increase, so will pride, anger, and love of the world in all its branches. How then is it possible that Methodism, that is a religion of the heart, though it flourishes now as the green bay tree, should continue in this state? For the Methodists in every place grow diligent and frugal; consequently, they increase in goods. Hence, they proportionately increase in pride, in anger, in the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life. So, although the form of religion remains, the spirit is swiftly vanishing away. Is there no way to prevent ... this continual decay of pure religion?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never knew any many in my life, who could not bear another's misfortunes perfectly like a Christian. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42813]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never knew any many in my life, who could not bear another's misfortunes perfectly like a Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feet that run on willing errands! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feet that run on willing errands!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's nobody at home But Jumping Joan,  And father and mother and I. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19621]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's nobody at home But Jumping Joan,  And father and mother and I.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14962]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doubt can only be removed by action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48349]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doubt can only be removed by action.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48349</guid></item></channel></rss>
