And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm proud that my boys didn't panic after getting down early.

Friedrich von Hügel August 9, 2000 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanksgiving-day, I fear, If one the solemn truth must touch,  Is celebrated, not so much   To thank ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thanksgiving-day, I fear, If one the solemn truth must touch,  Is celebrated, not so much   To thank the Lord for blessing o'er,    As for the sake of getting more!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[H' had got a hurt O' th' inside of a deadlier sort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62361]]></link><description><![CDATA[H' had got a hurt O' th' inside of a deadlier sort.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only a life lived for others is worth living ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only a life lived for others is worth living]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never Explain--your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never Explain--your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women like silent men.
