Frequently, when rival parties and rival nations fought with one another as to which of two opposed dogmas was the truth, they had been arrayed against one another by more deep-seated and vital causes, and merely inscribed at the last the dogmas on their standards or chose them as watchwords or symbols. We are tired of those elaborate discussions of the fine, wire-drawn, subtle distinctions between sects, and those elaborate discussions of the principles involved in heresies, and we desire to see the real differences in life and conduct receive more attention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parliamentary polls will kick-start the democratic process in Chechnya, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parliamentary polls will kick-start the democratic process in Chechnya,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26593]]></link><description><![CDATA[May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything has returned to normal.

The reaction to such a study may indeed prove to be conversion or open hostility, but it would at least mean the end of childish and ill-informed attacks upon what is supposed to be the Christian religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God who sends the wound sends the medicine. [Sp., Dios que da la llaga, da la medicina.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26685]]></link><description><![CDATA[God who sends the wound sends the medicine. [Sp., Dios que da la llaga, da la medicina.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't just learn something from every experience, learn something positive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't just learn something from every experience, learn something positive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was just too good of an opportunity for him to pass up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33922]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was just too good of an opportunity for him to pass up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fox knowes much, but more he that catcheth him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49855]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Fox knowes much, but more he that catcheth him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think and think for months and years.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore, friends, As far as to the sepulchre of Christ--  Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore, friends, As far as to the sepulchre of Christ--  Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross   We are impressed and engaged to fight--    Fourthwith a power of English shall we levy,     Whose arms were moulded in their mother's womb      To chase these pagans in those holy fields       Over whose acres walked those blessed feet        Which fourteen hundred years ago were nailed         For our advantage on the bitter cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't always wait for the guys at the top.
