And the chief of them is this: "Do not lie to God." And that curt piece of advice, so bluntly thrown down for us, is indeed all-important. Do not burn false fire upon God's altar; do not pose and pretend, either to Him or to yourself, in your religious exercises; do not say more than you mean, or use exagerated language that goes beyond the facts, when speaking to Him whose word is truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom comes by disillusionment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12548]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom comes by disillusionment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In many respects, we're fighting the last intelligence war.

Grieving over his loss, the Father resolved to kill the Snake. The next day, when it came out of its hole for food, he took up his axe, but by swinging too hastily, missed its head and cut off only the end of its tail. After some time the Cottager, afraid that the Snake would bite him also, endeavored to make peace, and placed some bread and salt in the hole. The Snake, slightly hissing, said: There can henceforth be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son. No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only two classes of books are of universal appeal.

Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes truth is lost first in a church, and then holiness and sometimes the decay or hatred of holiness is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes truth is lost first in a church, and then holiness and sometimes the decay or hatred of holiness is the cause of the loss of truth.

But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I said no.
