If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59493]]></link><description><![CDATA[A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had to put my money on it, ...

They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 7.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few tyrants go down to the infernal regions by a natural death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few tyrants go down to the infernal regions by a natural death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half the companies that raised venture money in 2005 won't be able to raise money in 2006. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Half the companies that raised venture money in 2005 won't be able to raise money in 2006.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm good at reading people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm good at reading people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, exercises a public trust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, exercises a public trust.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10890]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in books or embodied in customs, institutions and monuments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This monument is family.
