It is the most humanitarian of all known bodies of laws before recent times. The laws about slavery, which envisage the liberation of Hebrew slaves after seven years, are a good example. But there are also laws protecting the poor: interest (always high in the ancient East) was prohibited, and again there was a moratorium after a term of years... Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many people expect wonders from democracy, when the most wonderful thing of all is just having it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too many people expect wonders from democracy, when the most wonderful thing of all is just having it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is an arrangement by which we undertake to exchange small favors for big ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is an arrangement by which we undertake to exchange small favors for big ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must be the change we wish to see in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21094]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must be the change we wish to see in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The readiness of doing doth expresse No other but the doer's willingnesse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61597]]></link><description><![CDATA[The readiness of doing doth expresse No other but the doer's willingnesse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And God said: Let there be light: and there was light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25043]]></link><description><![CDATA[And God said: Let there be light: and there was light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men act and women appear.

It arises in and flows through a life hid with Christ in God. Its source is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the potency of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual power is the child of two parents: the truth as it is revealed in Jesus and our own experience resulting upon our acceptance of Him and His truth. The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With thee conversing I forget the way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10091]]></link><description><![CDATA[With thee conversing I forget the way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us take to our hearts a lesson-- No lesson could braver be--  From the ways of the tapestry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us take to our hearts a lesson-- No lesson could braver be--  From the ways of the tapestry weavers   On the other side of the sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The well-being of America's children is probably better than it ever has been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34095]]></link><description><![CDATA[The well-being of America's children is probably better than it ever has been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I buy expensive suits.
