If one is speaking of authority, the united authority of all the Biblical critics in the world counts for nothing. On this they speak simply as men -- men obviously influenced by, and perhaps insufficiently critical of, the spirit of the age they grew up in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When individuals approach one another with deep purposes on both sides they seldom come at once to the matter which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9964]]></link><description><![CDATA[When individuals approach one another with deep purposes on both sides they seldom come at once to the matter which they have most at heart.
