I doubt if the average Englishman felt himself as much oppressed by Charles I as by the plague; or if any colonial American was as much in dread of taxation without representation as of smallpox. And it may reasonably be contended that Walter Reed and William Crawford Gorgas brought to man freedom in a more happy sense and in a larger measure than any military or political leader.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46631]]></link><description><![CDATA[To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were standing around offensively.

You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just felt like what we were doing would be appreciated by someone else.

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blest be those feasts, with simple plenty crowned, Where all the ruddy family around  Laugh at the jests or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13194]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blest be those feasts, with simple plenty crowned, Where all the ruddy family around  Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fail   Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45849]]></link><description><![CDATA[You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Nation's first chief executive took his oath of office in April in New York City on the balcony of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60296]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Nation's first chief executive took his oath of office in April in New York City on the balcony of the Senate Chamber at Federal Hall on Wall Street.
