Frequently, when rival parties and rival nations fought with one another as to which of two opposed dogmas was the truth, they had been arrayed against one another by more deep-seated and vital causes, and merely inscribed at the last the dogmas on their standards or chose them as watchwords or symbols. We are tired of those elaborate discussions of the fine, wire-drawn, subtle distinctions between sects, and those elaborate discussions of the principles involved in heresies, and we desire to see the real differences in life and conduct receive more attention.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ships that sailed for sunny isles, But never came to shore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ships that sailed for sunny isles, But never came to shore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And over the pond are sailing Two swans all white as snow;  Sweet voices mysteriously wailing   Pierce ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58451]]></link><description><![CDATA[And over the pond are sailing Two swans all white as snow;  Sweet voices mysteriously wailing   Pierce through me as onward they go.    They sail along, and a ringing     Sweet melody rises on high;      And when the swans begin singing,       They presently must die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We definitely expected more consolidation in the industry, although it is always hard to imagine a deal of this magnitude. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37301]]></link><description><![CDATA[We definitely expected more consolidation in the industry, although it is always hard to imagine a deal of this magnitude.

We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a good poet's made, as well as born, And such wast thou!

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible.

Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blind man will not thank you for a looking-glass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4327]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blind man will not thank you for a looking-glass.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66468]]></link><description><![CDATA[When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the light at the end of the tunnel, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30808]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the light at the end of the tunnel,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prince Charles and his son William worked off their Christmas dinner yesterday by trying to blast some small furry creatures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prince Charles and his son William worked off their Christmas dinner yesterday by trying to blast some small furry creatures to pieces.http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It becomes a very important component in establishing regional security and stability, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29697]]></link><description><![CDATA[It becomes a very important component in establishing regional security and stability,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gentleman [Josiah Quincy] cannot have forgotten his own sentiment, uttered even on the floor of this House, "Peaceably if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45880]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gentleman [Josiah Quincy] cannot have forgotten his own sentiment, uttered even on the floor of this House, "Peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is keeping a sense of fallibility of all our views and opinions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is keeping a sense of fallibility of all our views and opinions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better a snotty child, then his nose wip'd off. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better a snotty child, then his nose wip'd off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17636]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it.
