How could pagans have developed words for Christian ideas which have never occurred to them? This identical situation existed when the Holy Spirit inspired the New Testament. At that time many pagan words, with pagan-thought background, were used in Christian contexts; by the contexts the present Christian meaning eventually built up, until it was possible to express all the Christian meaning in the pagan terms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has a mob self and an individual self, in varying proportions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42859]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has a mob self and an individual self, in varying proportions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll moider da bum. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27628]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll moider da bum.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64799]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All we're saying is, let small business have a choice.

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Croft's "Life of Dr. Young" was spoken of as a good imitation of Dr. Johnson's style, "No, no," said ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58100]]></link><description><![CDATA[When Croft's "Life of Dr. Young" was spoken of as a good imitation of Dr. Johnson's style, "No, no," said he, "it is not a good imitation of Johnson; it has all his pomp without his force; it has all the nodosities of the oak, without its strength; it has all the contortions of the sibyl, without the inspiration."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not believe anyone ever yet humbly, genuinely, thoroughly gave himself to Christ without some other finding Christ through ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7612]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not believe anyone ever yet humbly, genuinely, thoroughly gave himself to Christ without some other finding Christ through him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dictators are rulers who always look good until the last ten minutes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dictators are rulers who always look good until the last ten minutes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your ignorance cramps my conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your ignorance cramps my conversation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Declare World Party I ! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Declare World Party I !]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tree of liberty grows only when watered by the blood of tyrants. [Fr., L'arbre de la liberte ne croit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24678]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tree of liberty grows only when watered by the blood of tyrants. [Fr., L'arbre de la liberte ne croit qu'arrose par le sang des tyrans.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On what strange stuff Ambition feeds! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2316]]></link><description><![CDATA[On what strange stuff Ambition feeds!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He [Greenspan] is going to say we're not in a recession, but the risks are very, very high, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37045]]></link><description><![CDATA[He [Greenspan] is going to say we're not in a recession, but the risks are very, very high,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rust of the mind is the destruction of genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51194]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rust of the mind is the destruction of genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they avoid an area because of development, it's not usually a matter of them being able to go somewhere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30977]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they avoid an area because of development, it's not usually a matter of them being able to go somewhere else, ...

So he is courting the party's most loyal voters at every opportunity. At a time when there is little federal money to spread around, Gore has championed the Administration's empowerment-zone program, which pours millions of dollars into depressed areas like inner Detroit. During the fall campaign, he visited black churches on Sundays with a rousing sermon that an aide described as] very un-Al Gore, ...

I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58964]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If wisdom were offered me with the provision that I should keep it shutup and refrain from declaring it, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21277]]></link><description><![CDATA[If wisdom were offered me with the provision that I should keep it shutup and refrain from declaring it, I should refuse.
