If a Livie or a Guicciardine, or such extensive and voluminous authors had had this story in hand, God must have made another world, to have made them a library to hold their books, of the making of this world. Into what wire would they have drawn out this earth! Into what leaf-gold would they have beat out these heavens! It may assist our conjecture herein, to consider, that amongst those men, who proceed with a sober modesty and limitation in their writing, & make a conscience not to clog the world with unnecessary books, yet the volumes which are written by them, upon the beginning of Genesis, are scarce less than infinite. God did no more but say, Let this & this be done; and Moses doth no more but say, that upon God's saying it was done. God required not Nature to help him to do it; Moses required not Reason to help him believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boldness is a child of ignorance ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boldness is a child of ignorance]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16075]]></link><description><![CDATA[And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all the other alternatives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all the other alternatives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can sit down and do it in an hour.

How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nevertheless, there is another threat on the horizon.
