But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66424]]></link><description><![CDATA[And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're obviously going to spend a lot in marketing because we think the product sells itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26388]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're obviously going to spend a lot in marketing because we think the product sells itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of praise a mere glutton, he swallow'd what came, And the puff a dunce, he mistook it for fame;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16160]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of praise a mere glutton, he swallow'd what came, And the puff a dunce, he mistook it for fame;  Till his relish grown callous, almost to displease,   Who pepper'd the highest was surest to please.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then you yell, 'Fire!

One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You need to factor in the (interest-rate) differential, as well as the costs of refinancing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35330]]></link><description><![CDATA[You need to factor in the (interest-rate) differential, as well as the costs of refinancing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is when two people know everything about eachother and are still friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16846]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is when two people know everything about eachother and are still friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was put in the Air Corps.
