And if the New Testament were a collection of secular writings, their authenticity would generally be regarded as beyond all doubt. It is a curious fact that historians have often been much readier to trust the New Testament than have many theologians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much silence makes a powerful noise. -African proverb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much silence makes a powerful noise. -African proverb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To my friends: My work is done.

All pious persons should study to fortify themselves with these counsels, lest, while they consider themselves as valiant and strenuous defenders of righteousness, they depart from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the only Kingdom of righteousness. For since it is the will of God that the communion of his church should be maintained in this external society, those who, from an aversion of wicked men, destroy the token of that society, enter on a course in which they are in great danger of falling from the communion of the saints.   .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We often give our
