A long series of rejections and subsequent attendant conditions follow the rejections of the Bible as God's Word. Next to that rejection has come the rejection of the God of the Bible. Next, there usually follows a rejection of the Bible's presentation of man as a lost rebel against God, [and then] comes the rejection of biblical morality and ethics. [After] all of these, the next step is a short one--the rejection of biblical obedience to the laws of God and man. And, of course, many more items of rejection can be added to the list. But the crucial point here is that all of these can be traced back to the initial rejection of the absolute authority of Holy Writ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I require three things in a man: He must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27169]]></link><description><![CDATA[I require three things in a man: He must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some good lessons Are also learnt from Ceres and from Bacchus,  Without whom Venus will not long attack us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48759]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some good lessons Are also learnt from Ceres and from Bacchus,  Without whom Venus will not long attack us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must be our own before we can be another's. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26298]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must be our own before we can be another's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[--They write here one Cornelius--Son Hath made the Hollanders an invisible eel  To swim the haven at Dunkirk, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44002]]></link><description><![CDATA[--They write here one Cornelius--Son Hath made the Hollanders an invisible eel  To swim the haven at Dunkirk, and sink all   The shipping there.    --But how is't done?     --I'll show you, sir.      It is automa, runs under water       With a snug nose, and has a nimble tail        Made like an auger, with which tail she wriggles         Betwixt the costs of a ship and sinks it straight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence from those we love is self from self - a deadly banishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence from those we love is self from self - a deadly banishment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change  And pleased with novelty, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change  And pleased with novelty, might be indulged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without music, life would be a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without music, life would be a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think people are willing to spend more to have a premium experience so they're buying less but they're buying ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30542]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think people are willing to spend more to have a premium experience so they're buying less but they're buying higher quality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need to carefully control our total exposure.
