Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose [it]. Mr. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the conversion of St Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks full of prejudice and a contempt for Christianity. The results of their separate endeavours was that they were both converted by their attempts to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they had expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly and congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favour of revelation -- one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St Paul", and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's Wisdom and God's Goodness!--Ah, but fools Mis-define thee, till God knows them no more.  Wisdom and goodness they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17674]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's Wisdom and God's Goodness!--Ah, but fools Mis-define thee, till God knows them no more.  Wisdom and goodness they are God!--what schools   Have yet so much as heard this simpler lore.    This no Saint preaches, and this no Church rules:     'Tis in the desert, now and heretofore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that lost by not trying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25551]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that lost by not trying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lo. sifted through the winds that blow, Down comes the soft and silent snow,  White petals from the flowers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lo. sifted through the winds that blow, Down comes the soft and silent snow,  White petals from the flowers that grow   In the cold atmosphere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ton maitre.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[no doubt the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot from the face of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41319]]></link><description><![CDATA[no doubt the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot from the face of the Islamic world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great eagerness in the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, or honor, cannot exist without sin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great eagerness in the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, or honor, cannot exist without sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Making all future fruits of all the pasts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Making all future fruits of all the pasts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not posturing.
