Given, uninherited, unpaid for;    This is to be a trickster; and to filch     Men's art and labour, which to them is wealth,      Life, daily bread;--quitting all scores with "friend,       You're troublesome!" Why this, forgive me,        Is what, when done with a less dainty grace,         Plain folks call "Theft."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The long historian of my country's woes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19334]]></link><description><![CDATA[The long historian of my country's woes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Practice is the best of all instructors ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Practice is the best of all instructors]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is wretched business to be digging a well just as thirst is mastering you. [Lat., Miserum est opus,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61299]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is wretched business to be digging a well just as thirst is mastering you. [Lat., Miserum est opus,  Igitur demum fodere puteum, ubi sitis fauces tedet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Philanthropist, Reformer of the Church, 1093 Commemoration of Edmund Rich of Abingdon, Archbishop of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Philanthropist, Reformer of the Church, 1093 Commemoration of Edmund Rich of Abingdon, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1240   Exclusive concentration on the criterion of historicity obscures the intent, meaning, and message of the narrative which, after all, are its enduring qualities. If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. 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[In those holy fields Over whose acres walked those blessed feet Which fourteen hundred years ago were nail'd For our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55832]]></link><description><![CDATA[In those holy fields Over whose acres walked those blessed feet Which fourteen hundred years ago were nail'd For our advantage on the bitter cross. -King Henry IV.

They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lots of large commercial vendors are getting into this market, and they have not shown dedication to the standards-based approach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lots of large commercial vendors are getting into this market, and they have not shown dedication to the standards-based approach or to free access to the essential technology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace at home, peace in the world ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace at home, peace in the world]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I told the coaches there that I don't think I've ever been involved in all my years of coaching in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35993]]></link><description><![CDATA[I told the coaches there that I don't think I've ever been involved in all my years of coaching in a blowout that big in either boys or girls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man's censure is first moulded in his own nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man's censure is first moulded in his own nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The patients are happier, and we can serve more patients.
