But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport.

Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43819]]></link><description><![CDATA[For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was 10 times better, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34104]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was 10 times better,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy is nothing but Discretion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophy is nothing but Discretion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My experience has taught me, and it has become a principle with me, that it is never any benefit to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/885]]></link><description><![CDATA[My experience has taught me, and it has become a principle with me, that it is never any benefit to give out and out, to man or woman, money, food, clothing, or anything else, if they are able-bodied and can work and earn what they need, when there is anything on earth for them to do.
