From all that terror teaches,  From lies of tongue and pen; From all the easy speeches  That comfort cruel men; From sale and profanation  Of honor and the sword; From sleep and from damnation,  Deliver us, good Lord! Tie in a living tether  The prince and priest and thrall; Bind all our lives together,  Smite us and save us all; In ire and exultation  Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation,  A single sword to Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The poetry of the earth is never dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43918]]></link><description><![CDATA[The poetry of the earth is never dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some go to the light of nature and the use of "right reason" (that is, their own) as their guides; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some go to the light of nature and the use of "right reason" (that is, their own) as their guides; and some add the additional documents of the philosophers. They think a saying of Epictetus, or Seneca, or Arrianus, being wittily suited to their fancies and affections, to have more life and power in it than any precept of the Gospel. The reason why these things are more pleasing unto them than the commands and instructions of Christ is because, proceeding from the spring of natural light, they are suited to the workings of natural fancy and understanding; but those of Christ, proceeding from the fountain of eternal spiritual light, are not comprehended in their beauty and excellency without a principle of the same light in us, guiding our understanding and influencing our affections. Hence, take any precept, general or particular, about moral duties, that is materially the same in the writings of philosophers and in the doctrine of the Gospel; not a few prefer it as delivered in the first way before the latter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense hides shame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense hides shame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't hit a home run with a witness who has admittedly lied for years but all of a sudden, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38288]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't hit a home run with a witness who has admittedly lied for years but all of a sudden, because he has a get-out-of jail-free card, has changed his mind.

In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Builders are using every nook and cranny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Builders are using every nook and cranny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21555]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26328]]></link><description><![CDATA[While there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prision, I am not free. -Eugene V Debs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Treasuries seem to be overly happy and emerging markets seem to be quite content also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Treasuries seem to be overly happy and emerging markets seem to be quite content also.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd be hanging out in my bathrobe all day, stinky, just writing, and my mom allowed me to do this-as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58371]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd be hanging out in my bathrobe all day, stinky, just writing, and my mom allowed me to do this-as long as I was writing songs.
