But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any additional rate increases would need to be precipitated by higher inflation or above-trend growth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any additional rate increases would need to be precipitated by higher inflation or above-trend growth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If variety is the spice of life, marriage is the big can of leftover Spam. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27306]]></link><description><![CDATA[If variety is the spice of life, marriage is the big can of leftover Spam.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not trust people.

But surely there is no point in trying to account for faith: the moment it is accounted for rationally, it is no longer faith. Those whose hearts are filled with the Christian spirit... are best left to proclaim the Gospel in their own words and, above all, through the example of their own lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had rather be right than be President. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27672]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had rather be right than be President.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52588]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All frauds, like the wall daubed with untempered mortar ... always tend to the decay of what they are devised ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16643]]></link><description><![CDATA[All frauds, like the wall daubed with untempered mortar ... always tend to the decay of what they are devised to support.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try not to become a man of success but a man of value. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I survived that trouble so likewise may I survive this one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59727]]></link><description><![CDATA[I survived that trouble so likewise may I survive this one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A horrid stillness first invades the ear, And in that silence we the tempest fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56286]]></link><description><![CDATA[A horrid stillness first invades the ear, And in that silence we the tempest fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26401]]></link><description><![CDATA[My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet at the resurrection we shall see A fair edition, and of matchless worth,  Free from erratas, new in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet at the resurrection we shall see A fair edition, and of matchless worth,  Free from erratas, new in heaven set forth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy, like fire, soars upward. [Lat., Invidiam, tamquam ignem, summa petere.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14017]]></link><description><![CDATA[Envy, like fire, soars upward. [Lat., Invidiam, tamquam ignem, summa petere.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes I know of James Clerk Maxwell, ...

They restore... the authority of the law. For this reason, God raises up judges, not princes. The title sets forth both their work and the occasion of their appointment.
