There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We also believe that Muslims must use restraints in reacting to these cartoons and use educational methods to teach fellow ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34341]]></link><description><![CDATA[We also believe that Muslims must use restraints in reacting to these cartoons and use educational methods to teach fellow human beings about Islam.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a poet or an artist puts himself into his Productions he is criticized.

To the contrary, it is inherent in the Bible, for the Bible declares itself to be the Word of God. If it be the Word of God, its various teachings should all form a coherent unity. This presupposition of the Bible's unity provides a test for the validity of a system of interpretation: if the system is not able to demonstrate the Bible's unity, it must be an inadequate system.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is but one philosophy and its name is fortitude!

That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You live and you learn -- or you don't live long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24955]]></link><description><![CDATA[You live and you learn -- or you don't live long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They can't give endorsements, but they can at least lead you to three or four people in your geographic area ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35351]]></link><description><![CDATA[They can't give endorsements, but they can at least lead you to three or four people in your geographic area that you can meet with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43683]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We always weaken whatever we exaggerate. [Fr., On affaiblit toujours tout ce qu'on exagere.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61336]]></link><description><![CDATA[We always weaken whatever we exaggerate. [Fr., On affaiblit toujours tout ce qu'on exagere.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meton: With the straight ruler I set to work to make the circle four-cornered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17373]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meton: With the straight ruler I set to work to make the circle four-cornered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is a friend who will never betray. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is a friend who will never betray.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56282</guid></item></channel></rss>
