Nations, and languages, and every creature, in which is the breath of Life. Let man and beast appear before him, and magnify his name together. Let Noah and his company approach the throne of Grace, and do homage to the Ark of their Salvation. Let Abraham present a Ram, and worship the God of his Redemption. Let Jacob with his speckled Drove adore the good Shepherd of Israel. ... Let Daniel come forth with a Lion, and praise God with all his might, through faith in Christ Jesus. ... Let David bless with the bear --  The beginning of victory to the Lord --  to the Lord the perfection of excellence --  Hallelujah from the heart of God, and from the hand of the artist inimitable, and from the echo of the heavenly harp in sweetness magnifical and mighty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities.

How we shall experience it depends upon the way we shall come up against it: God does not change; it is man's moral state that changes. The wrath of God is a figure of speech to denote God's unchanging opposition to sin; it is His righteous love operating to destroy evil. It is not evil that will have the last word, but good; not sorrow, but joy; not hate, but love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But men are men; the best sometimes forget. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51438]]></link><description><![CDATA[But men are men; the best sometimes forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66251]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The oppression of any people for opinion's sake has rarely had any other effect than to fix those opinions deeper ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45159]]></link><description><![CDATA[The oppression of any people for opinion's sake has rarely had any other effect than to fix those opinions deeper and render them more important.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The situation in Abidjan is very similar to the one we had yesterday.
