They assembled on a certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns for the contest. But one of them who was exceedingly old (for many a field had he plowed) thus spoke: These Butchers, it is true, slaughter us, but they do so with skillful hands, and with no unnecessary pain. If we get rid of them, we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators, and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured, that though all the Butchers should perish, yet will men never want beef. Do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few cases of eyestrain have been developed by looking on the bright side of things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few cases of eyestrain have been developed by looking on the bright side of things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience. -King Henry VIII.

Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.  ... Jeremy Taylor  August 14, 2000 Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   Whether God revealed Himself to the patriarchs by oracles and visions, or suggested, by means of the ministry of men, what should be handed down by tradition to their posterity, it is beyond a doubt that their minds were impressed with a firm assurance of the doctrine, so that they were persuaded and convinced that the information they had received came from God... 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/7869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be wise to-day; 'tis madness to defer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be wise to-day; 'tis madness to defer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War will cease when men refuse to fight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27657]]></link><description><![CDATA[War will cease when men refuse to fight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity and treating begin at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity and treating begin at home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of worldliness is exclusion of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2836]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of worldliness is exclusion of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fancy with prophetic glance Sees the teeming months advance;  The field, the forest, green and gay;   The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fancy with prophetic glance Sees the teeming months advance;  The field, the forest, green and gay;   The dappled slope, the tedded hay;    Sees the reddening orchard blow,     The Harvest wave, the vintage flow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of our guys needed to win a couple of matches.
