It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many things--such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly--are done worst when we try hardest to do them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many things--such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly--are done worst when we try hardest to do them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are lots of things on the table, but there's nothing that will have a significant impact on the rate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34067]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are lots of things on the table, but there's nothing that will have a significant impact on the rate of increase of health care costs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diogenes struck the father when the son swore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5899]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diogenes struck the father when the son swore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often the test of courage is not to die but to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There must be some reason why a man must be convinced, while a woman must be persuaded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27026]]></link><description><![CDATA[There must be some reason why a man must be convinced, while a woman must be persuaded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are violets blue, For our sweetness found  Careless in the mossy shades,   Looking on the ground. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60712]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are violets blue, For our sweetness found  Careless in the mossy shades,   Looking on the ground.    Love's dropp'd eyelids and a kiss,--     Such our breath and blueness is.   - Leigh Hunt (James Henry Leigh Hunt),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31754]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kingdom of the Golden Dragon ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36763]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kingdom of the Golden Dragon]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable.
