It is the most humanitarian of all known bodies of laws before recent times. The laws about slavery, which envisage the liberation of Hebrew slaves after seven years, are a good example. But there are also laws protecting the poor: interest (always high in the ancient East) was prohibited, and again there was a moratorium after a term of years... Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to admit it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to admit it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How sweet to move at summer's eve By Clyde's meandering stream,  When Sol in joy is seen to leave ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54328]]></link><description><![CDATA[How sweet to move at summer's eve By Clyde's meandering stream,  When Sol in joy is seen to leave   The earth with crimson beam;    When islands that wandered far     Above his sea couch lie,      And here and there some gem-like star       Re-opes its sparkling eye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417  Jesus, like all other religious leaders, taught men to pray, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417  Jesus, like all other religious leaders, taught men to pray, that is, He taught them to look away from the world of ordinary sense impressions and to open the heart and spirit to God; yet He is always insistent that religion must be related to life. It is only by contact with God that a better quality of living can be achieved -- and Jesus Himself, as the records show, speent many hours in communion with God -- yet that new quality of life has to be both demonstrated and tested in the ordinary rough-and-tumble of plain living. It is in ordinary human relationships that the validity of a man's communion with God is to be proved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This girl is a rebel with a cause to challenge the mundane.

Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our offense and defense struggled.
