Not that we are bound to believe any thing against reason, that is, to believe, we know not why. It is but a slack opinion, it is not Belief, that is not grounded upon Reason. It is true, we have not a Demonstration; not such an Evidence as that one and two are three, to prove these to be Scriptures of God; God hath not proceeded in that manner, to drive our reason into a pound, and to force it by a peremptory necessity to accept these for Scriptures, for then, here had been no exercise of our Will, and our assent, if we could not have resisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rainbows apologize for angry skies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rainbows apologize for angry skies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nonetheless, struggle for civilian supremacy is still perilous and uncertain, ...

Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? It is just the opposite: it is to make its burden light. Attached to the oxen in any other way than by a yoke, the plow would be intolerable; worked by means of a yoke, it is light. A yoke is not an instrument of torture; it is an instrument of mercy. It is not a malicious contrivance for making work hard; it is a gentle device to make hard labor light. [Christ] knew the difference between a smooth yoke and a rough one, a bad fit and a good one... The rough yoke galled, and the burden was heavy; the smooth yoke caused no pain, and the load was lightly drawn. The badly fitted harness was a misery; the well fitted collar was "easy". And what was the "burden"? It was not some special burden laid upon the Christian, some unique infliction that they alone must bear. It was what all men bear: it was simply life, human life itself, the general burden of life which all must carry with them from the cradle to the grave. Christ saw that men took life painfully. To some it was a weariness, to others failure, to many a tragedy, to all a struggle and a pain. How to carry this burden of life had been the whole world's problem. And here is Christ's solution: "Carry it as I do. Take life as I take it. Look at it from my point of view. Interpret it upon my principles. Take my yoke and learn of me, and you will find it easy. For my yoke is easy, sits right upon the shoulders, and therefore my burden is light.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It shew'd discretion, the best part of valor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12445]]></link><description><![CDATA[It shew'd discretion, the best part of valor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no useful thing which may not be turned to an injurious purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50784]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no useful thing which may not be turned to an injurious purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've dropped four and it's going to be hard to keep our heads up and think that we can win ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41225]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've dropped four and it's going to be hard to keep our heads up and think that we can win another one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we dream so we don't have to be away from one another.

Every sin is a sin of the indivisible human being, and the divine reaction against it expresses itself to conscience through the indivisible frame of that world, at once natural and spiritual, in which man lives. We cannot distribute evils into the two classes of physical and moral, and subsequently investigate the relation between them: if we could, it would be of no service here. What we have to understand is that when a man sins he does something in which his whole being participates, and that the reaction of God against his sin is a reaction in which he is conscious (or might be conscious) that the whole system of things is in arms against him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them do a polygraph. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let them do a polygraph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is full of choices.
