To the contrary, it is inherent in the Bible, for the Bible declares itself to be the Word of God. If it be the Word of God, its various teachings should all form a coherent unity. This presupposition of the Bible's unity provides a test for the validity of a system of interpretation: if the system is not able to demonstrate the Bible's unity, it must be an inadequate system.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, nothing hurts worse than pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, nothing hurts worse than pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[to be nobody-but-myself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make me everybody else means, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1371]]></link><description><![CDATA[to be nobody-but-myself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make me everybody else means, to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His fair large front and eye sublime declared Absolute rule; and hyacinthine locks  Round from his parted forelock manly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54485]]></link><description><![CDATA[His fair large front and eye sublime declared Absolute rule; and hyacinthine locks  Round from his parted forelock manly hung   Clustering but not beneath his shoulders broad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And thereby hangs a tale. -The Taming of the Shrew.

The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last night the very gods showed me a vision-- I fast and prayed for their intelligence--thus:  I saw Jove's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13100]]></link><description><![CDATA[Last night the very gods showed me a vision-- I fast and prayed for their intelligence--thus:  I saw Jove's bird, the Roman eagle, winged   From the spongy south to this part of the west,    There vanished in the sunbeams; which portends,     Unless my sins abuse my divination,      Success to th' Roman host.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man may fulfil the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17034]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man may fulfil the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doing your best means never stop trying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doing your best means never stop trying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue lies half way between two opposite vices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue lies half way between two opposite vices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2346]]></link><description><![CDATA[A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself.
