It cannot make itself the slave of men, not even though the men are Peter and Paul and John; no, not even though it were the Son of Man Himself. It resents dictation, not willfully nor wantonly, but because it must; and it resents it all the more when it claims to be inspired. If, therefore, the Atonement can only be received by those who are prepared from the threshold to acknowledge the inspiration and the consequent authority of Scripture, it can never be received by modern men at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Solitude is independence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Solitude is independence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On one issue, at least, men and women agree; they both distrust women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27226]]></link><description><![CDATA[On one issue, at least, men and women agree; they both distrust women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gifts and alms are the expressions, not the essence, of this virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gifts and alms are the expressions, not the essence, of this virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He spent hours and hours sifting through different sites. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42311]]></link><description><![CDATA[He spent hours and hours sifting through different sites.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14231]]></link><description><![CDATA[The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We Germans fear God, but nothing else in the world. [Ger., Wir Deutschen furchten Gott, sonst aber Nichts in der ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17391]]></link><description><![CDATA[We Germans fear God, but nothing else in the world. [Ger., Wir Deutschen furchten Gott, sonst aber Nichts in der Welt.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True patriots we; for be it understood we left our country for our country's good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47043]]></link><description><![CDATA[True patriots we; for be it understood we left our country for our country's good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your chances of getting struck by lightning go up if you stand under a tree, shake your fist at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your chances of getting struck by lightning go up if you stand under a tree, shake your fist at the sky, and say "Storms suck!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop the I.

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62539]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a movable feast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The safety and happiness of society are the objects at which all political institutions aim, and to which all such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54642]]></link><description><![CDATA[The safety and happiness of society are the objects at which all political institutions aim, and to which all such institutions must be sacrificed]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am like a book, with pages that have stuck together for want of use: my mind needs unpacking and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4500]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am like a book, with pages that have stuck together for want of use: my mind needs unpacking and the truths stored within must be turned over from time to time, to be ready when occasion demands]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tranquil city of good laws, fine architecture, and clean streets is like a classroom of obedient dullards, or a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8757]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tranquil city of good laws, fine architecture, and clean streets is like a classroom of obedient dullards, or a field of gelded bulls - whereas a city of anarchy is a city of promise]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can say what you want about his stuff, but his makeup is off the charts.
