The truth is hardly less the loser because the inquisitor has altered his methods. All of us who seek to explore the wide reaches of God's revelation, and strive to bring the thinking of others under the domination of Christ, do well to seek first to bring our own rhetorical techniques under that same dominion -- under the discipline, that is, of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a woman is twenty, a child deforms her; when she is thirty, he preserves her; and when forty, he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43190]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a woman is twenty, a child deforms her; when she is thirty, he preserves her; and when forty, he makes her young again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fish and visitors stink after three days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fish and visitors stink after three days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can call nothing by name if that is not his name.

And those who are rich and who earn more than enough to support their own families are to be willing contributors to the common fund. The love of money -- the desire to accumulate wealth -- is the root of every kind of evil. The relation of one to another is to be that of members in one body, in which, if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bad cause will never be supported by bad means and bad men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5368]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bad cause will never be supported by bad means and bad men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is rarely that you see an American writer who is not hopelessly sane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41502]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is rarely that you see an American writer who is not hopelessly sane.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man struggling with adversity is said by some heathen writer to be a spectacle on which the gods ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/707]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man struggling with adversity is said by some heathen writer to be a spectacle on which the gods might look down with pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're pleased that the Executive wants to widen access to higher education, but we need to make sure that they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37001]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're pleased that the Executive wants to widen access to higher education, but we need to make sure that they put in place the necessary support package to make sure students do not have to give up their studies for financial reasons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never be so brief as to become obscure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never be so brief as to become obscure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they can stay where they are and can have air and water, (then) stay where they are.
