First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12399]]></link><description><![CDATA[For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we suffer anguish we return to early childhood because that is the period in which we first learnt to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26865]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we suffer anguish we return to early childhood because that is the period in which we first learnt to suffer the experience of total loss.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, nor that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master... But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test... For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

I think when Judas fled from his hanged and fallen body, he fled to the tender help of Jesus, and found it -- I say not how.
