They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gospels contain what the Apostles preached -- the Epistles, what they wrote after the preaching.

And until we understand the Gospel, the good news about our brother-king -- until we understand Him, until we have His Spirit, promised so freely to them that ask it -- all the Epistles, the words of men who were full of Him, and wrote out of that fullness, who loved Him so utterly that by that very love they were lifted into the air of pure reason and right, and would die for Him, without two thoughts about it, in the very simplicity of no choice -- the Letters, I say, of such men are to us a sealed book. Until we love the Lord so as to do what He tells us, we have no right to an opinion about what one of those men meant; for all they wrote is about things beyond us. The simplest woman who tries not to judge her neighbor, or not to be anxious for the morrow, will better know what is best to know, than the best-read bishop without that one simple outgoing of his highest nature in the effort to do the will of Him who thus spoke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Johann Sebastian Bach, musician, 1750  You, too, are called to be an open letter, as Paul puts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Johann Sebastian Bach, musician, 1750  You, too, are called to be an open letter, as Paul puts it, written by Christ's own hand, showing those round about you what things Christ can do. We are to go into the world and so to live our ordinary lives that, all unconsciously to us, those among whom we move will look at us again, and will begin to say, You know I used to doubt if there was much in Christianity save talk. But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prologues precede the piece in mournful verse, As undertakers walk before the hearse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prologues precede the piece in mournful verse, As undertakers walk before the hearse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eftest way. -Much Ado about Nothing.

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[I shall look forward to a pleasant time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15232]]></link><description><![CDATA[I shall look forward to a pleasant time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be able to look back upon one's past life with satisfaction is to livetwice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21872]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be able to look back upon one's past life with satisfaction is to livetwice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59242]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One does not lash what lies at a distance.

I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've negotiated long and hard with both players.
