Some truth taught in Scripture, some part of the divine revelation, is apprehended, and the heart responds to it and accepts it. As it is dwelt upon, expounded, defended; its power and beauty increasingly influence those affected by it. Another side of truth, another view of revelation, also contained in Scripture, seems to weaken, even to contradict, the truth that has been found to be so effectual. and in jealous fear for the doctrine accepted and taught, the balancing truth is minimized, explained away, and even denied. So on a portion of revelation, on a part of the Word, a sect is founded, good and useful because it preaches and practices Divine truth, but limited and unbalanced because it does not see all truth, nor frankly accept the whole of Scripture. Its members are not only deprived of the full use of all Scripture, but are cut off from the fellowship of many saints, who are less limited than they, or limited in another direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a good thing to learn caution from the misfortunes of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5389]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a good thing to learn caution from the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27578]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56986]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who sees action in inaction and inaction in action hasunderstanding among men and discipline in all action he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22767]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who sees action in inaction and inaction in action hasunderstanding among men and discipline in all action he performs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only your friends steal your books ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4494]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only your friends steal your books]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could have stopped it after they paid me the $50,000.
