The prophets were men called by God to serve as His messengers to a stubborn and unheeding people. They were always careful to point out that they were not voicing their own wisdom. Their warnings, entreaties, and promises were always prefaced by the awesome proclamation: "Thus says the Lord..." When the prophets did engage in prognostication, they usually were concerned with events which were fairly close at hand, such as the Assyrian conquest of Israel and the Babylonian conquest of Judah (both of which they foretold with deadly accuracy). But occasionally a prophet's vision ranged farther into the future, to the day when God would enter into a new covenant with his rebellious children. The hope of reconciliation was often linked with the coming of a very particular person, a Messiah or Savior.  What made the prophets so sure that they had a right--nay, a duty, to speak in the name of God? It is clear from their writings that they were not megalomaniacs who confused their own thoughts with the voice of God. On the contrary, they were humble men, awe-stricken by the responsibilities thrust upon them... The prophets minced no words in their indictments of the sins of Israel and Judah, and they trod especially hard on the toes of the rich, the powerful, and the pious. The Establishment responded then as some church members are wont to respond now when a preacher speaks out on controversial public issues: "One should not preach of such things!" (Micah 2:6).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pink is the color of romance and a friend tells me that the girl with the pink dress at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pink is the color of romance and a friend tells me that the girl with the pink dress at the party is the one who is selected for each dance]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48244]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Central depth of purple, Leaves more bright than rose,  Who shall tell what brightest thought   Out of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Central depth of purple, Leaves more bright than rose,  Who shall tell what brightest thought   Out of darkness grows?    Who, through what funereal pain,     Souls to love and peace attain?   - Leigh Hunt (James Henry Leigh Hunt),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think he [Archie Bunker] is in every man my age, no matter what he does, whether he's a vice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48333]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think he [Archie Bunker] is in every man my age, no matter what he does, whether he's a vice president at Chase or a cab driver.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is one short letter of danger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is one short letter of danger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole secret of existence is to have no fear.
