itself a good argument, because it seems to imply that, if the danger could be removed, if there was no risk of a child and no peril of infection, then the objection would be removed, too. It tends to imply that the objection is to the attendant dangers and not to the thing itself. But if sexual intercourse before and outside marriage is against the teaching of Jesus, then the thing is not only dangerous, it is wrong in itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take heed of a step-mother; the very name of her sufficeth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take heed of a step-mother; the very name of her sufficeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20946]]></link><description><![CDATA[The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to enjoy myself, but rest assured that I can be as serious as anyone else can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65823]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like to enjoy myself, but rest assured that I can be as serious as anyone else can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  You and I drift on through the years dully enough, because we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  You and I drift on through the years dully enough, because we do not believe in God, not really, and so we have no expectation. But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sofas 'twas half a sin to sit upon, So costly were they; carpets, every stitch  Of workmanship so rare, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26077]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sofas 'twas half a sin to sit upon, So costly were they; carpets, every stitch  Of workmanship so rare, they make you wish   You could glide o'er them like a golden fish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They don't have many issues left, but they cannot predict an agreement will be made by (Friday) morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41262]]></link><description><![CDATA[They don't have many issues left, but they cannot predict an agreement will be made by (Friday) morning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The responsibility of tolerance lies in those who have the wider vision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59436]]></link><description><![CDATA[The responsibility of tolerance lies in those who have the wider vision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gift much expected is paid, not given. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49026]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gift much expected is paid, not given.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public have neither shame nor gratitude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52483]]></link><description><![CDATA[The public have neither shame nor gratitude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52637]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I called them because my car was taken without my permission.

We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens.
