If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is brave is free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16654]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is brave is free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754  It is through dying to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754  It is through dying to concern for self that we are born to new life with God and others; in such dying and rebirth, we find that life is lent to be spent; and in such spending of what we are lent, we find there is an infinite supply.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not punished for our sins, but by them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65253]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not punished for our sins, but by them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some things are of that nature as to make One's fancy chuckle, while his heart doth ache. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9936]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some things are of that nature as to make One's fancy chuckle, while his heart doth ache.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even in areas where tap water is safe to drink, demand for bottled water is increasing--producing unnecessary garbage and consuming ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even in areas where tap water is safe to drink, demand for bottled water is increasing--producing unnecessary garbage and consuming vast quantities of energy.

It is no use passing judgments and making scapegoats of this or that individual statesman or group of statesmen. Idealists make a great mistake in not facing the real facts sincerely and resolutely. They believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is at the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideals of the race. But this great faith only too often leads to an optimism which is sadly and fatally at variance with actual results. It is the realist and not the idealist who is generally justified by events. We forget that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world, is still only an infant crying in the night, and that the struggle with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle. . . . Paris proved this terrible truth once more. It was not Wilson who failed there, but humanity itself. It was not the statesmen that failed, so much as the spirit of the peoples behind them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bodily disease which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12486]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bodily disease which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual part.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?
