It was because popes could and did err and because councils could and did err that Luther came to realize the supremacy of Scripture. Luther did not despise church authority, nor did he repudiate church councils as having no value. His praise of the Council of Nicaea is noteworthy. Luther and the Reformers did not mean by "Sola Scriptura" that the Bible is the only authority in the church; rather, they meant that the Bible is the only infallible authority in the church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,   By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,    By the primrose-stars in the shadowy grass,     By the green leaves, opening as I pass.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don\'t have to give birth to someone to have a family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66740]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don\'t have to give birth to someone to have a family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the first time, we found fossils that allow us to connect the first phase of human evolution and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30083]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the first time, we found fossils that allow us to connect the first phase of human evolution and the second phase.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope that you will tell as many people as you can about the archives so people can come and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37960]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hope that you will tell as many people as you can about the archives so people can come and use it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's my country, and there are good players on that team.

Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spend in pure converse our eternal day; Think each in each, immediately wise;  Learn all we lacked before; hear, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spend in pure converse our eternal day; Think each in each, immediately wise;  Learn all we lacked before; hear, know, and say   What this tumultuous body now denies;    And feel, who have laid our groping hands away;     And see, no longer blinded by our eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still fisheth he that catcheth one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49770]]></link><description><![CDATA[Still fisheth he that catcheth one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When all is said and done, what you'll probably see is some sort of negotiated settlement here, whether it's a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35053]]></link><description><![CDATA[When all is said and done, what you'll probably see is some sort of negotiated settlement here, whether it's a breakup fee, or lower purchase price.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What most impresses us about great jurists is not their tenacious grasps of fine points, honed almost to invisibility; it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19511]]></link><description><![CDATA[What most impresses us about great jurists is not their tenacious grasps of fine points, honed almost to invisibility; it is the moment when we are suddently aware of the sweep and direction of the law, and its place in the lives of men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything has been figured out, except how to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything has been figured out, except how to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who hath not own'd, with rapture-smitten frame, The power of grace, the magic of a name. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43639]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who hath not own'd, with rapture-smitten frame, The power of grace, the magic of a name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is with those who persevere ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58942]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is with those who persevere]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water is the only drink for a wise man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water is the only drink for a wise man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your work is becoming uninteresting, so are you.
