But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wives are people who feel they don't dance enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wives are people who feel they don't dance enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The censure of those who are opposed to us, is the highest commendation that can be given us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5431]]></link><description><![CDATA[The censure of those who are opposed to us, is the highest commendation that can be given us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is not left to stand alone.

Utopias are the straws to which those cling who have no real hope; utopias are as unattractive as they are incredible, for those who know what real hope is. Utopias are not a consequence of true hope but a poor substitute for it and therefore a hindrance and not a help. The hope that is in Jesus Christ is different from all utopias of universal progress. It is based on the revelation of the crucified one. It is, therefore, not an uncertain speculation about the future but a certainty based upon what God has already revealed. One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without knowing for certain that God's victory over all powers of destruction, including death, is the end towards which the time process moves as its own end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning; One pain is less'ned by another's anguish;  Turn giddy, and be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning; One pain is less'ned by another's anguish;  Turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning;   One desperate grief cures with another's languish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell is the wrath of God--His hate of sin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hell is the wrath of God--His hate of sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, why Should we, in the world's riper years, neglect  God's ancient sanctuaries, and adore   Only among ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, why Should we, in the world's riper years, neglect  God's ancient sanctuaries, and adore   Only among the crowd and under roofs    That our frail hands have raised?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Committing yourself is a way of finding out who you are.
