Abraham and Moses not only lived in two uniquely different worlds, but no Old Testament editor tried in any way to soften the glaring contrasts between the two spiritual giants. Abraham had no Tabernacle, with its minute ritual and special clergy. Abraham was given nothing like the detailed code of life demanded by the Sinai Covenant. Abraham was not even furnished with the basic Ten Commandments. And yet, when we turn to the New Testament, it is Abraham who holds the place of honor, and not Moses! Abraham is mentioned over seventy times in the New Testament, and half of these are in the Gospels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair flowers that are not gather'd in their prime rot and consume themselves in little time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair flowers that are not gather'd in their prime rot and consume themselves in little time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our content Is our best having. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51357]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our content Is our best having.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through our willingness to help others we can learn to be happy rather than depressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through our willingness to help others we can learn to be happy rather than depressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It wasn't so pretty, but it's a win and a guarantee of at least a share of the region championship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28189]]></link><description><![CDATA[It wasn't so pretty, but it's a win and a guarantee of at least a share of the region championship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all were shocked.

His existence is both objectively and subjectively evident. It is necessary logically because our assumption of order, design, and rationality rests upon it. It is necessary morally because there is no explanation for the shape of morality apart from it. It is necessary emotionally because the human experience requires an immediate and ultimate environment. It is necessary personally because the exhaustion of all material possibilities still cannot give satisfaction to the heart. The deepest proof for God's existence, apart from history, is just life itself. God has created man in his image, and men cannot elude the implications of this fact. Everywhere their identity pursues them. Ultimately, there is no escape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61631]]></link><description><![CDATA[In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may be on land, yet not in a garden. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50134]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may be on land, yet not in a garden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, hisinfluence, his power for good.

This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not ourselves When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind  To suffer with the body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21030]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not ourselves When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind  To suffer with the body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Agents are like tires on a car; in order to get anywhere at all, youneed at least four of them, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Agents are like tires on a car; in order to get anywhere at all, youneed at least four of them, and they need to be rotated every 5,000 miles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had a late supper one evening with Frank and Treat Williams...
