More learned, the formal logic of the schools would have robbed him of that flower of simplicity which is the great charm of his life; he would have seen the whole extent of the sore of the Church, and would no doubt have despaired of healing it. If he had known ecclesiastical discipline, he would have felt obliged to observe it; but, thanks to his ignorance, he could often violate it without knowing it, and be a heretic quite unawares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory is too good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory is too good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two kinds of weakness, that which breaks and that which bends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61356]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two kinds of weakness, that which breaks and that which bends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When religion is in the hands of the mere natural man, he is always the worse for it; it adds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7338]]></link><description><![CDATA[When religion is in the hands of the mere natural man, he is always the worse for it; it adds a bad heat to his own dark fire and helps to inflame his four elements of selfishness, envy, pride, and wrath. And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ... They considered their whole nature as the subject of religion and divine graces; and therefore their religion was according to the workings of their whole nature, and the old man was as busy and as much delighted in it as the new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have an engagement ring, which is my favorite accessory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39297]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have an engagement ring, which is my favorite accessory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity into churchiness, and the narrowing of the Gospel for all mankind into a set of approved beliefs; but the chief cause must be the worship of an inadequate god -- a cramped and regulated god who is a 'good churchman' according to the formulas of the worshipper. For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a very nice (Grey Cup) ring; lots of diamonds, quality diamonds, too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38881]]></link><description><![CDATA[a very nice (Grey Cup) ring; lots of diamonds, quality diamonds, too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was an auto industry correction and a high tech inventory correction, and if we can get through that without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37050]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was an auto industry correction and a high tech inventory correction, and if we can get through that without tipping the economy into a recession then we can get through this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contentment is, after all, simply refined indolence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9988]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contentment is, after all, simply refined indolence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One houres sleepe before midnight is worth three after. [One hour's sleep before midnight is worth three after.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49694]]></link><description><![CDATA[One houres sleepe before midnight is worth three after. [One hour's sleep before midnight is worth three after.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always thought I should be treated like a star. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26070]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always thought I should be treated like a star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is never too often repeated which is never sufficiently learnt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51185]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is never too often repeated which is never sufficiently learnt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power ought to serve as a check to power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power ought to serve as a check to power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What sweeter gift from nature has fallen to the lot of man than his children? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48891]]></link><description><![CDATA[What sweeter gift from nature has fallen to the lot of man than his children?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart loves, but moods have no loyalty.
