And, in that case, we ought frankly to affirm that, though the New Testament is an amazing witness to the religious creativity of the human spirit, its actual message is more wrong than right, more misleading than helpful; and we must reconstruct our gospel accordingly. Only a weak, muddled, or cowardly mind will hesitate to do this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only can water float a boat, it can sink it also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only can water float a boat, it can sink it also.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No rule is so general, which admits not some exception. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48706]]></link><description><![CDATA[No rule is so general, which admits not some exception.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Up until now, we've done little but complain.
