By their emphasis upon the primacy of individual justification, they deny the immediate social character and impact of the justification of the Jews and Gentiles, and they obstruct or delay the changes in common life which belong to the "new creation".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great causes and little men go ill together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great causes and little men go ill together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our task must be to free ourselves . . . by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9172]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our task must be to free ourselves . . . by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We secure to two trees in case one of them breaks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34481]]></link><description><![CDATA[We secure to two trees in case one of them breaks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For target shooting, that's okay.

And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is Man's nature.
