If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  By giving ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  By giving humans freedom of will, the Creator has chosen to limit His own power. He risked the daring experiment of giving us the freedom to make good or bad decisions, to live decent or evil lives, because God does not want the forced obedience of slaves. Instead, He covets the voluntary love and obedience of sons who love Him for Himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48244]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams is you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17033]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams is you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is a sure anchor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60797]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is a sure anchor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let nothing pass which will advantage you; Hairy in front, Occasion's bald behind.  [Lat., Rem tibi quam nosces aptam ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let nothing pass which will advantage you; Hairy in front, Occasion's bald behind.  [Lat., Rem tibi quam nosces aptam dimittere noli;   Fronte capillata, post est occasio calva.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11960]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A new British survey has revealed that 9 out of 10 people like Chocolate.

You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the skull of the man grows broader, so do his creeds. And his gods they are shaped in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62310]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the skull of the man grows broader, so do his creeds. And his gods they are shaped in his image and mirror his needs.  And he clothes them with thunders and beauty,   He clothes them with music and fire,    Seeing not, as he bows by their altars,     That he worships his own desire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9665]]></link><description><![CDATA[If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilization is hideously fragile [and] there's not much between us and the horrors underneath, just about a coat of varnish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilization is hideously fragile [and] there's not much between us and the horrors underneath, just about a coat of varnish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They've been playing some tough teams.
