We don't despise God's name; in fact, we call upon it constantly to justify ourselves... If we object to meat-eating, we declare that God is vegetarian; if we abhor war, we proclaim a pacifist Deity. He who turned water into wine to gladden a wedding it now accused by many of favouring that abominable fluid grape juice. There can hardly be a more evil way of taking God's name in vain than this way of presuming to speak in it. For here is spiritual pride, the ultimate sin, in action -- the sin of believing in one's own righteousness. The true prophet says humbly, "To me, a sinful man, God spoke." But the scribes and Pharisees declare, "When we speak, God agrees." They feel no need of a special revelation, for they are always, in their own view, infallible. It is this self-righteousness of the pious that most breeds atheism, by inspiring all decent, ordinary men with loathing of the enormous lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men's language is as their lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men's language is as their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The assassination changed the way we thought, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36637]]></link><description><![CDATA[The assassination changed the way we thought,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65031]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My experience has taught me, and it has become a principle with me, that it is never any benefit to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/885]]></link><description><![CDATA[My experience has taught me, and it has become a principle with me, that it is never any benefit to give out and out, to man or woman, money, food, clothing, or anything else, if they are able-bodied and can work and earn what they need, when there is anything on earth for them to do.

Avoid a frontal attack on a long established position; instead, seek to turn it by flank movement, so that a more penetrable side is exposed to the thrust of truth. But, in any such indirect approach, take care not to diverge from the truth- for nothing is more fatal to its real advancement than to lapse into untruth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there's going to be a lot of changes.
