For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So runs the round of life from hour to hour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8727]]></link><description><![CDATA[So runs the round of life from hour to hour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better the feet slip then the tongue. [Better the feet slip than the tongue.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better the feet slip then the tongue. [Better the feet slip than the tongue.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60470]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The natural law of inertia: Matter will remain at rest or continue in uniform motion in the same straight line ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22557]]></link><description><![CDATA[The natural law of inertia: Matter will remain at rest or continue in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11049]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[U.S. interest rates aren't going to necessarily support the dollar anymore.
