And if the New Testament were a collection of secular writings, their authenticity would generally be regarded as beyond all doubt. It is a curious fact that historians have often been much readier to trust the New Testament than have many theologians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alivewhen my husband gets home from work, then hey, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21104]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alivewhen my husband gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common-sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8010]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common-sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But come, I'll tell thee all my whole device When I am in my coach, which stays for us  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25412]]></link><description><![CDATA[But come, I'll tell thee all my whole device When I am in my coach, which stays for us  At the park gate; and therefore haste away,   For we must measure twenty miles to-day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She would have made Hercules have turned spit, yea, and have cleft his club to make the fire too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10146]]></link><description><![CDATA[She would have made Hercules have turned spit, yea, and have cleft his club to make the fire too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21634]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I deal with temptation by yielding to it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58884]]></link><description><![CDATA[I deal with temptation by yielding to it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He must needs go that the devil drives. -All 's Well that Ends Well.

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is run by C students. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13533]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is run by C students.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[main line of investigation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29315]]></link><description><![CDATA[main line of investigation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despair is like forward children, who, when you take away one of their playthings, throw the rest into the fire ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despair is like forward children, who, when you take away one of their playthings, throw the rest into the fire for madness.

He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still waiting to hear what resources are needed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33021]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're still waiting to hear what resources are needed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, woo me, woo me; for now I am in holiday humor and like enough to consent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, woo me, woo me; for now I am in holiday humor and like enough to consent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Misled by Fancy's meteor-ray, By passion driven;  But yet the light that led astray,   Was light from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Misled by Fancy's meteor-ray, By passion driven;  But yet the light that led astray,   Was light from Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was the word that spake it, He took the bread and brake it;  And what that word did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12631]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was the word that spake it, He took the bread and brake it;  And what that word did make it,   I do believe and take it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63457]]></link><description><![CDATA[By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leisure is a beautiful garment, but it will not do for constant wear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leisure is a beautiful garment, but it will not do for constant wear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to be (an) optimist to be a Democrat, and you've got to be a humorist to stay one ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46925]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to be (an) optimist to be a Democrat, and you've got to be a humorist to stay one]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace with a club in hand is war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace with a club in hand is war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20125]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laws control the lesser man...
