To put it in a provocative manner: the Bible is theology. It is historical theology. It can reveal its meaning only to those who regard it as the Word of God, and are able to preserve a strict confidence in the universal significance of particular historical occasions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue;  For all the water in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue;  For all the water in the ocean   Can never turn the swan's black legs to white,    Although she lave them hourly in the flood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you hold back your feelings because you are afraid of getting hurt, you end up hurting anyway ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62967]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you hold back your feelings because you are afraid of getting hurt, you end up hurting anyway]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To meditate an injury is to commit one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51204]]></link><description><![CDATA[To meditate an injury is to commit one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the press, which arguably was cowed by the (Bush) administration in the run-up to the war with Iraq, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39838]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the press, which arguably was cowed by the (Bush) administration in the run-up to the war with Iraq, was certainly not cowed in covering the aftermath of Katrina.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who sees action in inaction and inaction in action hasunderstanding among men and discipline in all action he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22767]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who sees action in inaction and inaction in action hasunderstanding among men and discipline in all action he performs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the men behind who "make" the man ahead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/999]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the men behind who "make" the man ahead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines.

But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is a fool who lets slip a bird in the hand for a bird in the bush. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4243]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is a fool who lets slip a bird in the hand for a bird in the bush.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This partnership of resources is a positive for our customers and farmers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33023]]></link><description><![CDATA[This partnership of resources is a positive for our customers and farmers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have heard nothing whatsoever about this alleged media speculation.
