Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.  ... Jeremy Taylor  August 14, 2000 Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   Whether God revealed Himself to the patriarchs by oracles and visions, or suggested, by means of the ministry of men, what should be handed down by tradition to their posterity, it is beyond a doubt that their minds were impressed with a firm assurance of the doctrine, so that they were persuaded and convinced that the information they had received came from God... 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/7869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a paradox in pride: it makes some men ridiculous, but prevents others from becoming so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48214]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a paradox in pride: it makes some men ridiculous, but prevents others from becoming so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a way winter is the real spring, the time when the inner things happen, the resurge of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54959]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a way winter is the real spring, the time when the inner things happen, the resurge of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is your devoted friend, sir, the manifold linguist and the armipotent soldier. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25132]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is your devoted friend, sir, the manifold linguist and the armipotent soldier.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Again the blackbirds sings; the streams Wake, laughing, from their winter dreams,  And tremble in the April showers  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Again the blackbirds sings; the streams Wake, laughing, from their winter dreams,  And tremble in the April showers   The tassels of the maple flowers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judges ought to be more learned than witty, more reverend than plausible, and more advised than confident.

The reaction to such a study may indeed prove to be conversion or open hostility, but it would at least mean the end of childish and ill-informed attacks upon what is supposed to be the Christian religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hardest part about being friends, is loving you so much ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16736]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hardest part about being friends, is loving you so much]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And all may think which way their judgments lead 'em. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48721]]></link><description><![CDATA[And all may think which way their judgments lead 'em.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An old Physitian, and a young Lawyer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49130]]></link><description><![CDATA[An old Physitian, and a young Lawyer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a late-night scene in every town, and everyone has something going on, ...
