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[Every egg represents 32 hours of jail for a chickenkept in a 3 ft by 1 ft cage, debeaked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every egg represents 32 hours of jail for a chickenkept in a 3 ft by 1 ft cage, debeaked.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are strapped into waiting the five year period, even when the market price for our property has increased. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28318]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are strapped into waiting the five year period, even when the market price for our property has increased.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creative writers are always greater than the causes that they represent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a devil in every berry of the grape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50540]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a devil in every berry of the grape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
