The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Facts in books, statistics in encyclopedias, the ability to use them in men's heads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Facts in books, statistics in encyclopedias, the ability to use them in men's heads.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All his reverend wit Lies in his wardrobe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58574]]></link><description><![CDATA[All his reverend wit Lies in his wardrobe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never had ill workeman good tooles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never had ill workeman good tooles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,  Thy naiad airs have brought me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23100]]></link><description><![CDATA[On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,  Thy naiad airs have brought me home   To the glory that was Greece    And the grandeur that was Rome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation of morality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation of morality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind is for seeing, the heart is for hearing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19000]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind is for seeing, the heart is for hearing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Persuasion tips his tongue whene'er he talks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58607]]></link><description><![CDATA[Persuasion tips his tongue whene'er he talks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His breath like silver arrows pierced the air, The naked earth crouched shuddering at his feet,  His finger on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61719]]></link><description><![CDATA[His breath like silver arrows pierced the air, The naked earth crouched shuddering at his feet,  His finger on all flowing waters sweet   Forbidding lay--motion nor sound was there:--    Nature was frozen dead,--and still and slow,     A winding sheet fell o'er her body fair,      Flaky and soft, from his wide wings of snow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pry not into the affairs of others, and keep secret that which has been entrusted to you, though sorely tempted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pry not into the affairs of others, and keep secret that which has been entrusted to you, though sorely tempted by wine and passion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the local level, revenues which exceed the limit will have to be used to reduce local property taxes;
