Origen seems to have put forward a definition generally agreed upon among ecclesiastical writers when he said that it is a faculty of the reason to distinguish between good and evil, a faculty of the will to choose one or the other. Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people today still believe, perhaps unconsciously, in the heliocentric universe every newspaper in the land has a section on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36281]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people today still believe, perhaps unconsciously, in the heliocentric universe every newspaper in the land has a section on astrology, yet few have anything at all on astronomy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In books, the proportion of exceptional to commonplace people is very high; in reality, very low. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25311]]></link><description><![CDATA[In books, the proportion of exceptional to commonplace people is very high; in reality, very low.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the officers, soldiers and security personnel are asked not to abide by these decisions and to consider them null ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41285]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the officers, soldiers and security personnel are asked not to abide by these decisions and to consider them null and void.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man safely goeth abroad who loveth not to rest at home.

In all our heart; that is, in all our understanding without erring. In all our soul; that is, in all our will without gainsaying. In all our thought; that is, that we think on Him without forgetting. In this manner is very love and true, that is work of man's will. For love is a willful stirring of our thoughts unto God, so that it receive nothing that is against the love of Jesus Christ, and therewith that it be lasting in sweetness of devotion; and that is the perfection of this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is an orphan of silence.

Hundreds of people could not have been so mistaken, especially when Jesus offered clear evidence of it. But it was not an earthbound body. It was something that bore a developmental relationship to an earthly human body, but it was not identical with it. There was clearly a continuity of life between the body of Jesus and the body of the resurrected Jesus, but in the process of resurrection it had undergone a very fundamental change. That, at least, seems obvious. So much for the list of dissimilarities; the body of Jesus after the resurrection had a different appearance and also a different "form". It was "like" the previous body, it had some sort of developmental relationship to it, but it was obviously not "identical" with it. Now we must consider the similarities. Strangely, they all came down to one factor, but that factor is so important that it outweighs all the dissimilarities. It is simply this: Jesus before and after the resurrection was undeniably the same person. No matter what extraordinary changes had taken place in his bodily form, all who knew him well had no doubt at all who he was. They "knew" it was the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some folks are wise and some are otherwise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some folks are wise and some are otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation is a society united by a delusion about it's ancestry and by common hatred of it's neighbours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44380]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation is a society united by a delusion about it's ancestry and by common hatred of it's neighbours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd rather be rich than stupid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11751]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd rather be rich than stupid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Terms ill defined, and forms misunderstood, And customs, when their reasons are unknown,  Have stirred up many zealous souls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62637]]></link><description><![CDATA[Terms ill defined, and forms misunderstood, And customs, when their reasons are unknown,  Have stirred up many zealous souls   To fight against imaginary giants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May I govern my passions with absolute sway, And grow wiser and better as my strength wears away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45612]]></link><description><![CDATA[May I govern my passions with absolute sway, And grow wiser and better as my strength wears away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Critics complained it wasn't opera, it wasn't a musical.
