He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities.

You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Home improvement retailers like Lowe's have large bulky merchandise in our stores and we carry big quantities of these products, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Home improvement retailers like Lowe's have large bulky merchandise in our stores and we carry big quantities of these products, as many as 40,000 products.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often you have to rely on intuition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22982]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often you have to rely on intuition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22982</guid></item></channel></rss>
