It became quickly and readily apparent how cruel heretical teachings are and how prevalent the heresies are in contemporary times. Victims of these teachings have been encouraged to either to escape the world and their basic humanity into some form of flight and death or to use religion to undergird and isolate further their own self-centered self from the need to be loved and to love...   The conviction that heresy is cruel has given me a growing awe of and respect for orthodoxy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is an impressive crowd: the Have's and Have-more's.

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They want their character to grow from opening night to closing night and find new things.

With the exception of the book of Daniel, which the Jews themselves never classed among the prophecies, and an obscure text of Jeremiah, there is not a passage in all the Old Testament which favours the notion of a temporal Messiah. What moral object was there, for which such a Messiah should come? What could he have been but a sort of virtuous Napoleon?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A day in thy courts is better than a thousand.

The high infant mortality rate on reservations is due to devastating poverty. Yet the state has not passed any laws in the last several years that would boost any of the health or education programs within the reservation community. As for tribal sovereignty, the only time the state wants to recognize it is when it benefits the state, as in this instance when it allows Senator Napoli to opt out of an intelligent response.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can only be young once.
