Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

It is very desirable that we should all advance to that perfection of love in which we shall fear no longer; but it is very undesirable, until we have reached that stage, that we should allow any inferior agent to cast out our fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54104]]></link><description><![CDATA[In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community.
