But men destroy it in the form of exegesis: they destroy it in the way they deal with it. They destroy it by not reading it as written in normal, literary form, by ignoring its historical-grammatical exegesis, by changing the Bible's own perspective of itself as propositional revelation in space and time, in history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The land of fairy, where nobody gets old and godly and grave, where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14950]]></link><description><![CDATA[The land of fairy, where nobody gets old and godly and grave, where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, And he who has one enemy will meet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13849]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If by fire Of sooty coal th' empiric alchymist  Can turn, or holds it possible to turn,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1981]]></link><description><![CDATA[If by fire Of sooty coal th' empiric alchymist  Can turn, or holds it possible to turn,   Metals of drossiest ore to perfect gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suicide is a permanent solutionto a temporary problem(quoted by Judy Collins on Diane Rehm Show). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suicide is a permanent solutionto a temporary problem(quoted by Judy Collins on Diane Rehm Show).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in the next. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1173]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in the next.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All cruelty springs from hard-heartedness and weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10805]]></link><description><![CDATA[All cruelty springs from hard-heartedness and weakness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To him that will, waies are not wanting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50008]]></link><description><![CDATA[To him that will, waies are not wanting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul's Rialto hath its merchandise, I barter for curl upon that mart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5017]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soul's Rialto hath its merchandise, I barter for curl upon that mart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is good news for taxpayers and the states.

And I make it my business only to persevere in His holy presence, wherein I keep myself by a simple attention and a general fond regard to God, which I may call an actual presence of God -- or, to speak better, an habitual, silent, and secret conversation of the soul with God, which often causes in me joys and raptures inwardly, and sometimes also outwardly, so great, that I am forced to use means to moderate them, and to prevent their appearance to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I realize that patriotism is not enough.

When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thucydides, an Athenian, wrote the history of the war between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians, he began at the moment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thucydides, an Athenian, wrote the history of the war between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians, he began at the moment that it broke out, believing that it would be a great war, and more memorable than any that had preceded it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power abdicates only under stress of counter-power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57982]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power abdicates only under stress of counter-power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You come to Michigan to play teams like Notre Dame.
