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[I would rather have an inferiority complex and be pleasantly surprised, than have a superiority complex and be rudely awakened. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20801]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather have an inferiority complex and be pleasantly surprised, than have a superiority complex and be rudely awakened.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry must have something in it that is barbaric, vast and wild. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry must have something in it that is barbaric, vast and wild.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conversation is a game of circles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conversation is a game of circles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who throw kisses are hopelessly lazy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23867]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who throw kisses are hopelessly lazy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody can direct a picture once they know the fundamentals.
