But my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with the infernal spirit of slave-holding and wrong; When I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten; That her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a comparison is made of the variant readings of the New Testament with those of other books which have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6703]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a comparison is made of the variant readings of the New Testament with those of other books which have survived from antiquity, the results are little short of astounding. For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer for something when they suffer from something; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46311]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer for something when they suffer from something; that they are showing the way when they are running away; that they see the light when they feel the heat; that they are chosen when they are shunned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who dare to love their country, and be poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who dare to love their country, and be poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So modern 'pothecaries, taught the art By doctor's bills to play the doctor's part,  Bold in the practice of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26706]]></link><description><![CDATA[So modern 'pothecaries, taught the art By doctor's bills to play the doctor's part,  Bold in the practice of mistaken rules,   Prescribe, apply, and call their masters fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gluttony kills more than the sword, and is the kindler of all evils. [Lat., Gula plures occidit quam gladius, estque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gluttony kills more than the sword, and is the kindler of all evils. [Lat., Gula plures occidit quam gladius, estque fomes omnium malorum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He plaies well that winnes. [He plays well that wins.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49320]]></link><description><![CDATA[He plaies well that winnes. [He plays well that wins.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little rebellion now and then is a good thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53159]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her pattern was when a child started crying, she couldn't stand it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her pattern was when a child started crying, she couldn't stand it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest happiness comes from the greatest activity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22607]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest happiness comes from the greatest activity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm glad they've been able to pull together after consolidation.

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 don't think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58961]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of No.12, do you?

Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They really liked the layout last year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40072]]></link><description><![CDATA[They really liked the layout last year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A moth-eaten rag on a worm-eaten pole, It does not look likely to stir a man's soul.  'Tis the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16133]]></link><description><![CDATA[A moth-eaten rag on a worm-eaten pole, It does not look likely to stir a man's soul.  'Tis the deeds that were done 'neath the moth-eaten rag,   When the pole was a staff, and the rag was a flag.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature boils with the madcap careers of writers brought to the edge by the demands of living on their nerves, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature boils with the madcap careers of writers brought to the edge by the demands of living on their nerves, wringing out their memories and their nightmares to extract meaning, truth, beauty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859 I love my God, but with no love of mine  For I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859 I love my God, but with no love of mine  For I have none to give; I love Thee, Lord, but all that love is Thine,  For by Thy life I live.
