They assembled on a certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns for the contest. But one of them who was exceedingly old (for many a field had he plowed) thus spoke: These Butchers, it is true, slaughter us, but they do so with skillful hands, and with no unnecessary pain. If we get rid of them, we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators, and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured, that though all the Butchers should perish, yet will men never want beef. Do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There goes the swallow,-- Could we but follow!  Hasty swallow, stay,   Point us out the way;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58438]]></link><description><![CDATA[There goes the swallow,-- Could we but follow!  Hasty swallow, stay,   Point us out the way;    Look back swallow, turn back swallow, stop swallow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Cross    Teach me.

Let me use disappointment as material for patience:   Let me use success as material for thankfulness:   Let me use suspence as material for perseverance:   Let me use danger as material for courage:   Let me use reproach as material for longsuffering:   Let me use praise as material for humility:   Let me use pleasures as material for temperance:   Let me use pains as material for endurance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literalism gets its name from its insistence that what we find in the Bible is not just the Word of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literalism gets its name from its insistence that what we find in the Bible is not just the Word of God but the very words of God. The distinction is of tremendous importance. The phrase "Word of God" as used in the Bible itself, notably in the opening sentences of the Fourth Gospel, is an English translation of a Greek word, Logos, which was in wide use among philosophers at the time the New Testament was written. It connotes the creative, outgoing, self-revealing activity of God. The Logos was not a particular divine utterance, but God's overall message to mankind. It was not necessarily communicated verbally in speech or writing. Indeed, the whole point of Christianity is that the supreme communication of the Word took place when it was expressed through a human life and personality in Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a true genius appears in this world you may know him by the sign that the dunces are all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17347]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a true genius appears in this world you may know him by the sign that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think you can win, you can.
