God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In honest plainness thou hast heard me say My daughter is not for thee; and now, in madness,  Being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22932]]></link><description><![CDATA[In honest plainness thou hast heard me say My daughter is not for thee; and now, in madness,  Being full of supper and distemp'ring draughts,   Upon malicious knavery does thou come    To start my quiet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you start getting involved in bond math it gets complicated.
