Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.  ... Jeremy Taylor  August 14, 2000 Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   Whether God revealed Himself to the patriarchs by oracles and visions, or suggested, by means of the ministry of men, what should be handed down by tradition to their posterity, it is beyond a doubt that their minds were impressed with a firm assurance of the doctrine, so that they were persuaded and convinced that the information they had received came from God... But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage: Great Russian word, fit for the songs of our children's children, pure on their tongues, and free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage: Great Russian word, fit for the songs of our children's children, pure on their tongues, and free.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will set aside more money for Social Security than what the president did in his budget; there's not a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33668]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will set aside more money for Social Security than what the president did in his budget; there's not a doubt about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13725]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An optimist is a guy that has never had much experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62969]]></link><description><![CDATA[An optimist is a guy that has never had much experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is a welcomed gift for the uninhibited mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is a welcomed gift for the uninhibited mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, to think how thin the veil that lies Between the pain of hell and Paradise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, to think how thin the veil that lies Between the pain of hell and Paradise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The visiting munchkins will only be performing in Friday, Saturday and Sunday shows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37176]]></link><description><![CDATA[The visiting munchkins will only be performing in Friday, Saturday and Sunday shows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be little liking where there is no likeness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28488]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be little liking where there is no likeness]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has a lot of talent.
