The unbeliever may take his own temperament and experience, just as they happen to stand, and consider them worth communicating simply because they are his. To the Christian his own temperament and experience, as mere fact, and as merely his, are of no value or importance whatsoever: he will deal with them, if at all, only because they are the medium through which, or the position from which, something universally profitable appeared to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The theme from here until after Labor Day is going to be more postponements, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35920]]></link><description><![CDATA[The theme from here until after Labor Day is going to be more postponements,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65080]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6123]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person without a memory is either a child or an amnesiac.
