Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our struggle today is not to have a female Einstein get appointed as an assistant professor.

We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How lovely he appears! his little cheeks In their pure incarnation, vying with  The rose leaves strewn beneath them. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3628]]></link><description><![CDATA[How lovely he appears! his little cheeks In their pure incarnation, vying with  The rose leaves strewn beneath them.   And his lips, too,    How beautifully parted!
