Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't excell with talent, triumph with effort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1488]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't excell with talent, triumph with effort.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Debters are lyers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Debters are lyers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A white rosebud for a guerdon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54431]]></link><description><![CDATA[A white rosebud for a guerdon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don't know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don't know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a thing that keeps surprising you about stormy old friends after they die; their silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11270]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a thing that keeps surprising you about stormy old friends after they die; their silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None pities him that is in the snare, who warned before, would not beware ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46615]]></link><description><![CDATA[None pities him that is in the snare, who warned before, would not beware]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[King Stephen was a worthy peere, His breeches cost him but a crowne;  He held them sixpence all too ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58570]]></link><description><![CDATA[King Stephen was a worthy peere, His breeches cost him but a crowne;  He held them sixpence all too deere,   Therefore he call'd the taylor lowne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those that will combat use and custom by the strict rules of grammar do but jest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18131]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those that will combat use and custom by the strict rules of grammar do but jest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How freaky is that?
