And if they can but get to be of a Sect which they think the holiest (as the Anabaptists and the Separatists), or which is the largest (as the Greeks and the Romans), they think then that they are sufficiently warranted to deny others to be God's Church, or at least to deny them Christian love and communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, Conscience!

Criminal laws are laws, imposed on men, who are already in existence, with or without their consent, and, with the possible exception of capital punishment for murder, there is no logical relation between the nature of a crime and the penalty inflicted for committing it. If God created man, then the laws of man's spiritual nature must, like the laws of his physical nature, be laws -- laws, that is to say, which he is free to defy but no more free to break than he can break the law of gravity by jumping out of the window, or the laws of biochemistry by getting drunk -- and the consequences of defying them must be as inevitable and as intrinsically related to their nature as a broken leg or a hangover. To state spiritual laws in the imperative -- Thou shalt love God with all thy being, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself -- is simply a pedagogical technique, as when a mother says to her small son, "Stay away from the window!" because the child does not yet know what will happen if he falls out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16960]]></link><description><![CDATA[False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And how should a beautiful, ignorant stream of water know it heads for an early release - out across the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43877]]></link><description><![CDATA[And how should a beautiful, ignorant stream of water know it heads for an early release - out across the desert, running toward the Gulf, below sea level, to murmur its lullaby, and see the Imperial Valley rise out of burning sand with cotton blossoms, wheat, watermelons, roses, how should it know?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While foulest fiends shun thy society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58241]]></link><description><![CDATA[While foulest fiends shun thy society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statement after losing his first fight to Ken Norton, March 31, 1973: I never thought of losing, but now that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statement after losing his first fight to Ken Norton, March 31, 1973: I never thought of losing, but now that it's happened, the only thing is to do it right.
