You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems essential, in relationships and all tasks, that we concentrate only on what is most significant and important. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63185]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems essential, in relationships and all tasks, that we concentrate only on what is most significant and important.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A misery is not to be measured from the nature of the evil, but from the temper of the sufferer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42788]]></link><description><![CDATA[A misery is not to be measured from the nature of the evil, but from the temper of the sufferer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you understand the most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4053]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you understand the most amusing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasure and action make the hours seem short. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quite frankly, [the bid process] is as intense as any pursuit of a telecom contract I've ever been through representing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quite frankly, [the bid process] is as intense as any pursuit of a telecom contract I've ever been through representing BellSouth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Censure is often useful, praise is often deceitful ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Censure is often useful, praise is often deceitful]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would especially like to thank our Mom and Dad and our family for supporting us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29061]]></link><description><![CDATA[We would especially like to thank our Mom and Dad and our family for supporting us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The store jelly doesn't compare.

Therefore I do not see how it is possible in the nature of things for any revival of religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these cannot but produce riches. But as riches increase, so will pride, anger, and love of the world in all its branches. How then is it possible that Methodism, that is a religion of the heart, though it flourishes now as the green bay tree, should continue in this state? For the Methodists in every place grow diligent and frugal; consequently, they increase in goods. Hence, they proportionately increase in pride, in anger, in the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life. So, although the form of religion remains, the spirit is swiftly vanishing away. Is there no way to prevent ... this continual decay of pure religion?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil thoughts often come from idleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil thoughts often come from idleness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Swallow and the CrowThe Swallow and the Crow had a contention about their plumage.

Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes a piece of music in the score isn't effective.
