He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When men have gone so far as to talk as though their idols have come to life, it is time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53647]]></link><description><![CDATA[When men have gone so far as to talk as though their idols have come to life, it is time that someone broke them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ruthlessness born of self-seeking is ineffectual compared with the ruthlessness sustained by dedication to a holy cause.

Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe nothing and be on your guard against everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44653]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe nothing and be on your guard against everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those, that with haste will make a mighty fire, Begin it with weak straws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those, that with haste will make a mighty fire, Begin it with weak straws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51284</guid></item></channel></rss>
