This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11780]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw you into a panic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A book might be written on the injustice of the just. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4574]]></link><description><![CDATA[A book might be written on the injustice of the just.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of people seem to want to make the institution of marriage substitute for a real relationship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63929]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of people seem to want to make the institution of marriage substitute for a real relationship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All human things Of dearest value hang on slender strings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62343]]></link><description><![CDATA[All human things Of dearest value hang on slender strings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some write their wrongs in marble: he more just, Stoop'd down serene and wrote them on the dust,  Trod ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44764]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some write their wrongs in marble: he more just, Stoop'd down serene and wrote them on the dust,  Trod under foot, the sport of every wind,   Swept from the earth and blotted from his mind,    There, secret in the grave, he bade them lie,     And grieved they could not 'scape the Almighty eye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is definitely a good sign.

But thus much may we learn from these heathens, that if the dead, and we, be not upon one floor, nor under one story, yet we are under one roof. We think not a friend lost, because he has gone into another room, nor because he has gone into another land: and into another world, no man has gone; for that Heaven, which God created, and this world, is all one world... I spend none of my faith, I exercise none of my hope, in this, that I shall have my dead raised to life again. This is the faith that sustains me, when I lose by the death of others, or when I suffer by living in misery myself: that the dead and we are now all in one Church, and at the resurrection, shall be all in one Choir.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be no 'third-round' of reductions, but we recognize the need to reduce the duties on some goods based ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29370]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be no 'third-round' of reductions, but we recognize the need to reduce the duties on some goods based on individual requests.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Caterpillar plant invited us to come.
