But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a part of a continent, a part of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43734]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a part of a continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were . . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His fear was greater than his haste: For fear, though fleeter than the wind,  Believes 'tis always left behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15501]]></link><description><![CDATA[His fear was greater than his haste: For fear, though fleeter than the wind,  Believes 'tis always left behind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We found that time was late and we saw that the matters will need another day in order to reach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36219]]></link><description><![CDATA[We found that time was late and we saw that the matters will need another day in order to reach results that please everyone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their mothers had finally caught up to them and been proven right.

He is your ally. He is our ally, be he at the other end of the world. Love all living things whose humble task is not opposed in any way to yours, to ours: men with simple hearts, honest, without vanity and malice, and all the animals, because they are beautiful, without exception and without exception indifferent to whatever "idea" there may be. Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful. -Measure for Measure.

Stipendiary clergy cut off by training and life from that common experience are constantly struggling to get close to the laity by wearing lay clothing, sharing in lay amusements, and organizing lay clubs; but they never quite succeed. To get close to men, it is necessary really to share their experience, and to share their experience is to share it by being in it, not merely to come as near to it as possible without being in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11322]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because bankers measure their self-worth in money, and pay themselves a lot of it, they think they're fine fellows and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because bankers measure their self-worth in money, and pay themselves a lot of it, they think they're fine fellows and don't need to explain themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) inorder to guarantee your future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) inorder to guarantee your future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ignorance of the law excuses no man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ignorance of the law excuses no man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're certainly aiming for that but it's hard to crystal-ball it.
