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[Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66457]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[England has never enjoyed a genuine social revolution.

He assembled a good many Foxes and publicly advised them to cut off their tails, saying that they would not only look much better without them, but that they would get rid of the weight of the brush, which was a very great inconvenience.
