To put it in a provocative manner: the Bible is theology. It is historical theology. It can reveal its meaning only to those who regard it as the Word of God, and are able to preserve a strict confidence in the universal significance of particular historical occasions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot combine being a movie star with not being a movie star ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41918]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot combine being a movie star with not being a movie star]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

In that very chapter [Romans 7] where he asserts most strongly our inability to keep the moral law he also asserts most confidently that we perceive the Law's goodness and rejoice in it according to the inward man. Our righteousness may be filthy and ragged; but Christianity gives us no ground for holding that our perceptions of right are in the same condition. They may, no doubt, be impaired; but there is a difference between imperfect sight and blindness. A theology which goes about to represent our practical reason as radically unsound is heading for disaster. If we once admit that what God means by "goodness" is sheerly different from what we judge to be good, there is no difference left between pure religion and devil worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27494]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing hard inside the olive; nothing hard outside the nut. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50365]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing hard inside the olive; nothing hard outside the nut.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52993]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creation science is an attempt to give credibility to Hebrew mythology by making people believe that the world's foremost biologists, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creation science is an attempt to give credibility to Hebrew mythology by making people believe that the world's foremost biologists, paleontologists, and geologists are a bunch of incompetent nincompoops.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The applause of a single human being is of great consequence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2923]]></link><description><![CDATA[The applause of a single human being is of great consequence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laughter is the best medicine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laughter is the best medicine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything depends on political developments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28494]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything depends on political developments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dissents are appeals to the brooding spirit of the law, to the intelligence of another day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dissents are appeals to the brooding spirit of the law, to the intelligence of another day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And lilies white, prepared to touch The whitest thought, nor soil it much,  Of dreamer turned to lover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25080]]></link><description><![CDATA[And lilies white, prepared to touch The whitest thought, nor soil it much,  Of dreamer turned to lover.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the introduction of agriculture mankind entered upon a long period of meanness, misery, and madness, from which they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1943]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the introduction of agriculture mankind entered upon a long period of meanness, misery, and madness, from which they are only now being freed by the beneficent operation of the machine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Germany in general has stayed united with the other two partners, but is considered sort of the weak link.
