It was wonderful to touch one of them and think, Perhaps the Apostle Paul or one of the martyrs touched this as they passed. But how much more wonderful is it to think that we have, for our own use, the very same sword our Lord used when the Devil attacked Him. [Brooke Foss] Westcott says "the Word of God" in Ephesians 6:17 means "a definite utterance of God". We know these "definite utterances" -- we have the same Book that He had, and we can do as He did. So let us learn the "definite utterances" that they may be ready in our minds; ready for use at the moment of need -- our sword which never grows dull and rusty, but is always keen and bright. So once more I say, let us not expect defeat but victory. Let us take fast hold and keep fast hold of our sword, and we shall win in any assault of the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find the fact that billionaires are quoted as if the fact that they are billionaires gives them some kind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66289]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find the fact that billionaires are quoted as if the fact that they are billionaires gives them some kind of wisdom is outrageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If someone listens, or strectches out a hand, or whispers a kind word of encouragement, or attempts to understand a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55243]]></link><description><![CDATA[If someone listens, or strectches out a hand, or whispers a kind word of encouragement, or attempts to understand a lonely person, extraordinary things begin to happen. -Loretta Girzartis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is it that makes a complete stranger dive into an icy river to save a solid gold baby?

And that context, astounding even to bodily eyes is the heaven of stars and the incredible procession of the great galaxies. Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence Science's view of intelligence itself has begun to change. Historically, "intelligence" has been defined simply as mental capacity. Some have even proposed that it is, therefore, fixed, finite, and genetically predetermined. Now it appears intelligence has other dimensions as well, physiologically and emotionally. We all have considerably more intelligence than we thought; we just have not learned to bring our capacity for intelligence into coherence. Martin Luther King, Jr. -W.
