On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy is like a fly that passes all the body's sounder parts, and dwells upon the sores. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Envy is like a fly that passes all the body's sounder parts, and dwells upon the sores.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People's hearts are like wild animals.
