Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose [it]. Mr. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the conversion of St Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks full of prejudice and a contempt for Christianity. The results of their separate endeavours was that they were both converted by their attempts to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they had expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly and congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favour of revelation -- one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St Paul", and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It wasn't a hard choice.

His agony was His entrance into the last, eternal terrors of the lost soul, into the real horrors of that dreadful, eternal death which man unredeemed must have died into when he left this world. We are therefore not to consider our Lord's death upon the Cross as only the death of that mortal body which was nailed to it, but we are to look upon Him with wounded hearts, as being fixed and fastened in the state of that twofold death, which was due to the fallen nature, out of which He could not come till He could say, "It is finished; Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23186]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was also involved in the destruction of Kuwait, looting, pillage, killing, torturing, and taking hostages in Kuwait during the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29835]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was also involved in the destruction of Kuwait, looting, pillage, killing, torturing, and taking hostages in Kuwait during the invasion of '91,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to dream before your dreams can come true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63647]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to dream before your dreams can come true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over the hills and o'er the main, To Flanders, Portugal and Spain,  Queen Anne commands and we'll obey,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over the hills and o'er the main, To Flanders, Portugal and Spain,  Queen Anne commands and we'll obey,   Over the hills and far away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roots is not just a saga of my family.
