Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly... -Proverbs 14:17a. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2612]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly... -Proverbs 14:17a.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of breath to no purpose, in doing much doing nothing.

Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's completely irrelevant whether something is good or bad or valuable or worthless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41394]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's completely irrelevant whether something is good or bad or valuable or worthless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is no longer my moral duty as a human being to achieve an integrated and unitary set of explanations ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27771]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is no longer my moral duty as a human being to achieve an integrated and unitary set of explanations for my thoughts and feelings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education... no nation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education... no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization.
