If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text.

This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now the great winds shoreward blow, / Now the salt tides seaward flow; / Now the wild white horses play, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now the great winds shoreward blow, / Now the salt tides seaward flow; / Now the wild white horses play, / Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reality of life is that your perceptions -- right or wrong -- influence everything else you do.
