For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pain hardens, and great pain hardens greatly, whatever the comforters say, and suffering does not ennoble, though it may occasionally ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pain hardens, and great pain hardens greatly, whatever the comforters say, and suffering does not ennoble, though it may occasionally lend a certain rigid dignity of manner to the suffering frame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But oars alone can ne'er prevail To reach the distant coast;  The breath of Heaven must swell the sail, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4398]]></link><description><![CDATA[But oars alone can ne'er prevail To reach the distant coast;  The breath of Heaven must swell the sail,   Or all the toil is lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please do not let this be the end, but the beginning of many joint meetings to better the working relationships ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Please do not let this be the end, but the beginning of many joint meetings to better the working relationships between communities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some preparations are now in progress to assure the smooth organization of the meeting, and 'Management of Migratory Flows' has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some preparations are now in progress to assure the smooth organization of the meeting, and 'Management of Migratory Flows' has been selected theme of the meeting,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095   The truth is that so long as we hold both sides ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095   The truth is that so long as we hold both sides of the proposition together they contain nothing inconsistent with orthodoxy, but as soon as one is divorced from the other, it is bound to prove a stumbling-block. "Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is but the weak and little mind that rejoices in revenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50459]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is but the weak and little mind that rejoices in revenge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing only has been lent to youth and age in common--discontent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12423]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing only has been lent to youth and age in common--discontent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13168]]></link><description><![CDATA[He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the hell?

Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once they get their hooks into you, you're a dead pigeon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once they get their hooks into you, you're a dead pigeon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Armour is light at table. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Armour is light at table.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Admiration is the daughter of ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/600</guid></item></channel></rss>
