He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is known to be mortal by two things, Sleep and Lust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49053]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is known to be mortal by two things, Sleep and Lust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are very pleased to reach a favorable settlement with Digital Persona regarding our patent rights.

To me, at least, this is a thoroughly unsound argument, for Christ did not come into the world to bring men "specialized activity," but life, fuller and more satisfying than it had been ever before. If the churches have made Christianity appear to be some kind of specialized spiritual performance so much the worse for them. The real purpose of Christ, the real relevance of the Gospel, is surely to enable men to live together as sons of God. Human beings, like children, love to have secrets, love to be "in the know." But the Christian religion was never meant to be a secret recipe for living, held by a few. It is Good News for all mankind and, because it is that, the more clearly and intelligibly it can be presented, the more faithfully it is following its Master's purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I ran there and when I got there, there were four or five boats looking in the water.
