This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her silver voice Is the rich music of a summer bird,  Heard in the still night, with its passionate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her silver voice Is the rich music of a summer bird,  Heard in the still night, with its passionate cadence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human judges can show mercy.

That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I enjoy talking to you more than anybody else because I never feel I am giving myself away and so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40151]]></link><description><![CDATA[I enjoy talking to you more than anybody else because I never feel I am giving myself away and so can admit to shady, dishonest, crawling, cowardly, unjust, arrogant, snobbish, lecherous, perverted and generally shameful feelings that I don't want anybody else to know about; but most of all because I am always on the verge of violent laughter when talking to you.If you were here, I keep thinking, we would spend the time in talk and drink and smoke and I should be laughing a lot of the time, and I should be enjoying myself a lot of the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we're a decent basketball team.
