The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An idea is the only level which moves the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9405]]></link><description><![CDATA[An idea is the only level which moves the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I took to photography like a duck to water.

The high infant mortality rate on reservations is due to devastating poverty. Yet the state has not passed any laws in the last several years that would boost any of the health or education programs within the reservation community. As for tribal sovereignty, the only time the state wants to recognize it is when it benefits the state, as in this instance when it allows Senator Napoli to opt out of an intelligent response.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some evils are cured by contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49755]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some evils are cured by contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to winthat makes the difference. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21217]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to winthat makes the difference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never thought that you could obtain the extremely clumpy, heterogeneous universe we have today, strongly affected by plasma ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36278]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never thought that you could obtain the extremely clumpy, heterogeneous universe we have today, strongly affected by plasma processes, from the smooth, homogeneous one of the Big Bang, dominated by gravitation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief,  The doves of Noah ne'er had roost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief,  The doves of Noah ne'er had roost   Nor found an olive-leaf.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forget those things that aren't worth remembering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's soul is pierced as it were with holes, and as his longings flow through each they are transmuted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52290]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's soul is pierced as it were with holes, and as his longings flow through each they are transmuted into something specific.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get the facts, or the facts will get you.
