Therefore this great work of charity must have other motives, ends, and impulsions. I give no alms to satisfy the hunger of my brother, but to fulfil and accomplish the will and command of my God; I draw not my purse for his sake that demands it, but his that enjoined it; I relieve no man upon the rhetoric of his miseries, nor to content mine own commiserating disposition, for this is still but moral charity, and an act that oweth more to passion than reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24672]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13170]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.

The one only and infallible way to go safely through all the difficulties, trials, temptations, dryness, or opposition of our own evil tempers is this: It is to expect nothing from ourselves, to trust to nothing in ourselves, but in everything to expect and depend upon God for relief. Keep fast hold of this thread, and then let your way be what it will -- darkness, temptation, or the rebellion of nature -- you will be led through it all, to an union with God: for nothing hurts us in any state but an expectation of some thing in it and from it, which we should only expect from God.
