It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn so many things from golf- how to suffer, for instance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17810]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn so many things from golf- how to suffer, for instance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy means not 'I am as good as you are,' but 'You are as good as I am.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy means not 'I am as good as you are,' but 'You are as good as I am.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm worried that a number of these deals will not get done now.

There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it.
