The best and safest way to deal with these truths is to raise our eyes to God and in deepest reverence say, "0 Lord, Thou knowest." Those things belong to the deep and mysterious Profound of God's omniscience. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never utter these words: 'I do not know this, therefore it is false.'

Each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction, are no different. They have nearly destroyed us in the past. They plague us still. They fuel the fanaticism of terror. They torment the lives of millions in fractured nations around the world. These obsessions cripple both those who are hated and, of course, those who hate, robbing both of what they might become.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47373]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind.

But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61689]]></link><description><![CDATA[If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I succeed on my own personal motivation, dedication, and commitment….

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt.

It was the God, in fact, whom the whole of the life of Jesus set forth, to the astonishment of those among whom He moved. Loving still, He brought God to men in the same unmistakable way. The divine love that through Jesus had found the public an Zacchaeus had now through the risen Christ found Paul the Pharisee. Hence forward the central facts of life for Paul were that while he was yet a sinner God had found and forgiven him, and that this was the work of Jesus Christ, in whose love the love of God had become plain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bring poppies for a weary mind That saddens in a senseless din. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47696]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bring poppies for a weary mind That saddens in a senseless din.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63406]]></link><description><![CDATA[For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A democratic despotism is like a theocracy: it assumes its own correctness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47050]]></link><description><![CDATA[A democratic despotism is like a theocracy: it assumes its own correctness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mine host of the Garter. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.
