To the contrary, it is inherent in the Bible, for the Bible declares itself to be the Word of God. If it be the Word of God, its various teachings should all form a coherent unity. This presupposition of the Bible's unity provides a test for the validity of a system of interpretation: if the system is not able to demonstrate the Bible's unity, it must be an inadequate system.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under democracy, one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under democracy, one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule -and both commonly succeed, and are right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing to cling to the patterns you know inhibits your ability to discover what you don't know ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing to cling to the patterns you know inhibits your ability to discover what you don't know]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A greedy person and a pauper are practically one and the same. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18295]]></link><description><![CDATA[A greedy person and a pauper are practically one and the same.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best system is to have one party govern and the other party watch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45591]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best system is to have one party govern and the other party watch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some positive persisting fops we know, Who, if once wrong, will needs be always so;  But you with pleasure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some positive persisting fops we know, Who, if once wrong, will needs be always so;  But you with pleasure own your errors past,   And make each day a critique on the last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/959]]></link><description><![CDATA[The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While bright-eyed science watches round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54824]]></link><description><![CDATA[While bright-eyed science watches round.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of us do not consciously look at movies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43362]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of us do not consciously look at movies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The April winds are magical, And thrill our tuneful frames;  The garden-walks are passional   To bachelors and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2982]]></link><description><![CDATA[The April winds are magical, And thrill our tuneful frames;  The garden-walks are passional   To bachelors and dames.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we're good.

A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.
