It involves the conceptions of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another must place the truth of the case in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are very excited to announce this partnership and to align the event with such a favorable brand as Ford. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31678]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are very excited to announce this partnership and to align the event with such a favorable brand as Ford.

Then, after laying the sticks parallel to one another and binding them, he challenged his sons, one after one, to pick up the bundle and break it. They all tried, but in vain. Then, untying the bundle, he gave them the sticks to break one by one. This they did with the greatest ease.

For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skillful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should this profit thee without the love and grace of God?  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ April 11, 1996 Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  When an unskillful servant gathers many herbs, flowers, and seeds in a garden, you gather them out that are useful, and cast the rest out of sight; so Christ deals with our performances. All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The record shows very long lapses of time when there's no movement on the case at all.

It is hard, under the pressure of haste, uneasiness, ill-temper, self-complacency, and conceit, to continue intending justice. Power corrupts; the "insolence of office" will creep in. We see it so clearly in our superiors; is it unlikely that our inferiors see it in us? How many of those who have been over us did not sometimes (perhaps often) need our forgiveness? Be sure that we likewise need the forgiveness of those that are under us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is on the table, we have innumerable possibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34780]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is on the table, we have innumerable possibilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the court didn't think this (Texas) was materially different from the Pennsylvania case, they wouldn't have taken it up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42137]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the court didn't think this (Texas) was materially different from the Pennsylvania case, they wouldn't have taken it up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it caught them by surprise, and they didn't have an answer for it.
