But the way to put a stop to this declension is not by accommodating the commands of God to the corrupt courses and ways of men. The truths of God and the holiness of His precepts must be pleaded and defended, though the world dislike them here and perish hereafter. His law must not be made to lackey after the wills of men, nor be dissolved by vain interpretations, because they complain they cannot -- indeed, because they will not -- comply with it. Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them, and to supply men with spiritual strength to fulfill them also. It is evil to break the least commandment; but there is a great aggravation of that evil in them that shall teach men so to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conservatively speaking, my understanding of the law is that if Google went to scan in a book without the author's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conservatively speaking, my understanding of the law is that if Google went to scan in a book without the author's permission, then that would be a violation of copyright law.

The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ... John Henry Newman, "What is a University?" August 12, 2000   Any single verse of the Bible, taken in isolation, may actually be dangerous to your spiritual health. Every part of it must be read in relation to the whole message.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true man wants two things: danger and play.

Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the kind of intractable problem that can probably only be resolved through negotiations, and those negotiations may have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37502]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the kind of intractable problem that can probably only be resolved through negotiations, and those negotiations may have to include the Boeing- Airbus dispute - which, given its complexity, should be settled through negotiations anyway.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The drop hollows out the stone not by strength, but by constant falling. [Lat., Gutta cavat lapidem non vi, sed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46163]]></link><description><![CDATA[The drop hollows out the stone not by strength, but by constant falling. [Lat., Gutta cavat lapidem non vi, sed saepe cadendo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think one wants lots of different lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37226]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think one wants lots of different lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here was a rare man, who lived a rare life and showed us the way to live life at its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here was a rare man, who lived a rare life and showed us the way to live life at its fullest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37924</guid></item></channel></rss>
