God is merciful and kind; he bestows truth, as well as rain and sunshine, upon the just and the unjust. Christ is the "true light that enlightens every man". This bestowal should inspire feelings of joy, not resentment, in the heart of a Christian. Aristotle said many wise things about logic, Confucius many wise things about morals. When a Christian attacks general wisdom in the name of the gospel, the natural man will attack the gospel in the name of general wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A live dog is better than a dead lion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50960]]></link><description><![CDATA[A live dog is better than a dead lion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some hae meat, and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it;  But we hae meat, and we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some hae meat, and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it;  But we hae meat, and we can eat,   And sae the Lord be thankit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They favour learning whose actions are worthy of a learned pen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49962]]></link><description><![CDATA[They favour learning whose actions are worthy of a learned pen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A theory has only the alternative of being right or wrong.

Even if we were first to grant the presence of a "Christendom" situation [where] Church and State would be virtually coextensive, the nation of Israel would still remain unique. The focus of salvation is on the historical action of God in forming a people for Himself, and there is no indication anywhere in the Bible that God promises political salvation even inside the context of the full salvation of His people, let alone outside it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aesthetics happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1612]]></link><description><![CDATA[Aesthetics happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be afraid to fall flat on your face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't be afraid to fall flat on your face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trade's proud empire hastes to swift decay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trade's proud empire hastes to swift decay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creativity can solve almost any problem.

One might even say [that] Jesus was more revolutionary than the revolutionaries, or revolutionary in a very different way. The revolution he had in mind was a radical change of heart on the part of mankind, involving conversion away from selfishness and toward the willing service of God and of people in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6323</guid></item></channel></rss>
