First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your Excellency, I am aware of my responsibilities, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your Excellency, I am aware of my responsibilities,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What there really wasn't [information on] was 'what do people think'.

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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. [Vulgate Lat., Pax huic domui.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45866]]></link><description><![CDATA[And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. [Vulgate Lat., Pax huic domui.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remove grace, and you have nothing whereby to be saved.

When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alone I walked on the ocean strand, A pearly shell was in my hand;  I stooped, and wrote upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alone I walked on the ocean strand, A pearly shell was in my hand;  I stooped, and wrote upon the sand   My name, the year, the day.    As onward from the sport I passed,     One lingering look behind I cast,      A wave came rolling high and fast,       And washed my lines away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16899]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20717]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20717</guid></item></channel></rss>
