They think a saying of Epictetus, or Seneca, or Arrianus, being wittily suited to their fancies and affections, to have more life and power in it than any precept of the Gospel. The reason why these things are more pleasing unto them than the commands and instructions of Christ is because, proceeding from the spring of natural light, they are suited to the workings of natural fancy and understanding; but those of Christ, proceeding from the fountain of eternal spiritual light, are not comprehended in their beauty and excellency without a principle of the same light in us, guiding our understanding and influencing our affections. Hence, take any precept, general or particular, about moral duties, that is materially the same in the writings of philosophers and in the doctrine of the Gospel; not a few prefer it as delivered in the first way before the latter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[College is a refuge from hasty judgment.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64720]]></link><description><![CDATA[College is a refuge from hasty judgment.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence. •Robert Fripp    There is nothing more notable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43481]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence. •Robert Fripp    There is nothing more notable in Socrates than that he found time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and thought it time well spent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8622]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year.

The passage of Scripture which subdued and controlled my mind was this, "The servant of the Lord must not strive." It was painful indeed to see the church, with the exception of the aisles, almost forsaken; but I thought that if God would only give a double blessing to the congregation that did attend, there would on the whole be as much good done as if the congregation were doubled and the blessing limited to only half the amount. This comforted me many, many times, when, without such a reflection, I should have sunk under my burden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll have the problem of the cold and the state of the field, but I'm convinced we can win.

They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Full from the fount of Joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom springs.  [Lat., Medio ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Full from the fount of Joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom springs.  [Lat., Medio de fonte leporum   Surgit amari aliquid, quod in ipsis floribus angat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It didn't dawn on me that we were older/elderly women.
