But if anything of this kind runs all through the course of our life, if we allow ourselves in things that are either vain, foolish, or sensual, we renounce our profession. For as sure as Jesus Christ was wisdom and holiness, as sure as He came to make us like Himself and to be baptized into His Spirit, so sure is it that none can be said to keep to their Christian profession but they who, to the utmost of their power, live a wise and holy and heavenly life. This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41053]]></link><description><![CDATA[O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact: to lie about others as you would have them lie about you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact: to lie about others as you would have them lie about you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing strictly immortal, but immortality.
