It cannot make itself the slave of men, not even though the men are Peter and Paul and John; no, not even though it were the Son of Man Himself. It resents dictation, not willfully nor wantonly, but because it must; and it resents it all the more when it claims to be inspired. If, therefore, the Atonement can only be received by those who are prepared from the threshold to acknowledge the inspiration and the consequent authority of Scripture, it can never be received by modern men at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are the real architects of society. -Harriet Beecher Stowe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women are the real architects of society. -Harriet Beecher Stowe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want.
