Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without liberty, law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suspicion is a mental picture seen through an imaginary keyhole ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suspicion is a mental picture seen through an imaginary keyhole]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is...an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents....
