Denmark is one of the countries in the world where press freedom is the most respected.

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a stone there, That whoever kisses,  Oh! he never misses   To grow eloquent.   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23052]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a stone there, That whoever kisses,  Oh! he never misses   To grow eloquent.    'Tis he may clamber     To a lady's chamber      Or become a member       Of Parliament.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Job security is gone.

And when they are wicked, the Humanitarian theory of punishment will put in their hands a finer instrument of tyranny than wickedness ever had before. For if crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as crime, and compulsorily cured. It will be vain to plead that states of mind which displease the government need not always involve moral turpitude and do not therefore always deserve forfeiture of liberty. For our masters will not be using the concepts of Desert and Punishment but those of disease and cure. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many ways to the life we live,none so right, or so profound, as the onethat is uniquely ours.We ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34405]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many ways to the life we live,none so right, or so profound, as the onethat is uniquely ours.We need to get to the place that isSeparate from what you've ever doneSeparate from what you'll ever doThe place you know isRIGHTFORYOU]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope people will walk away with the idea that this was a very frequent act of violence, ...
