On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided, and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58889]]></link><description><![CDATA[The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty state's decrees,  And shape the whisper of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57853]]></link><description><![CDATA[And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty state's decrees,  And shape the whisper of the throne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every day brings a ship, Every ship brings a word;  Well for those who have no fear,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every day brings a ship, Every ship brings a word;  Well for those who have no fear,   Looking seaward well assured    That the word the vessel brings     Is the word they wish to hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No cause is helpless if it is just.
