There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26520]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5837]]></link><description><![CDATA[For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate to see things done by halves.
