Let the princes hear and be afraid. But we must, in the meantime, be very careful not to despise or violate that authority of magistrates, full of venerable majesty, which God has established by the weightiest decrees, even though it may reside with the most unworthy men, who defile it as much as they can with their own wickedness. For, if the correction of unbridled despotism is the Lord's to avenge, let us not at once think that it is entrusted to us, to whom no command has been given except to obey and suffer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statistics are no substitute for judgment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statistics are no substitute for judgment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing has more strength than dire necessity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing has more strength than dire necessity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up a solid round stone from the water and broke it open. It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44384]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Martin Luther King challenged the conscience of my generation, and his words and his legacy continue to move generations to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Martin Luther King challenged the conscience of my generation, and his words and his legacy continue to move generations to action today at home and around the world.
