For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder for someone else ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder for someone else]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always wish them well, ... except this week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39818]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always wish them well, ... except this week.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You reach a point where you don't work for money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64820]]></link><description><![CDATA[You reach a point where you don't work for money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is like a fisherman, who, having caught a fish in his net, leaves it in the water for a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is like a fisherman, who, having caught a fish in his net, leaves it in the water for a time; the fish continues to swim about, but all the while the net is round it, and the fishermen will snatch it out in his own good time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whales only get harpooned when they come to the surface, and turtles can only move forward when they stick their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5107]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whales only get harpooned when they come to the surface, and turtles can only move forward when they stick their neck out, but investors face risk no matter what they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By doing nothing we learne to do ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49168]]></link><description><![CDATA[By doing nothing we learne to do ill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fall down seven times, stand up eight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21837]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fall down seven times, stand up eight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/466]]></link><description><![CDATA[The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was better than the last one.

In them the Ancients personified living realities -- intelligence, beauty, love, or lust, which are still at work in our hearts, and which fashion our persons. The language they speak is that of image and myth, which touches the person much more directly than the explicit language of science and the intellectual dialectic of the modern world. It is also the language of the Bible, of the parables of Christ, which the rationalist of today finds it so difficult to understand, of the Word of God which demands of us not a discussion but a personal decision.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opposition may become sweet to a man when he has christened it persecution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45141]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opposition may become sweet to a man when he has christened it persecution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not good to have an oar in everyone's boat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46277]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not good to have an oar in everyone's boat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He raised a mortal to the skies; She drew an angel down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20856]]></link><description><![CDATA[He raised a mortal to the skies; She drew an angel down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obscurity and competence: That is the life that is worth living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obscurity and competence: That is the life that is worth living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is in self-imitation that a master first shows himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3873]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is in self-imitation that a master first shows himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of his officers, Henry Lee, summed up contemporary public opinion of Washington: First in war, first in peace, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60288]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of his officers, Henry Lee, summed up contemporary public opinion of Washington: First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58681]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we did very well.
