And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poverty ...

It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those vices [luxury and neglect of decent manners] are vices of men, not of the times. [Lat., Hominum sunt ista ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those vices [luxury and neglect of decent manners] are vices of men, not of the times. [Lat., Hominum sunt ista [vitia], non temporum.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23534]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know of no way of judging the future but by the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind of the scholar, if he would leave it large and liberal, should come in contact with other minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58057]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind of the scholar, if he would leave it large and liberal, should come in contact with other minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To liken them to your auld-warld squad, I must needs say comparisons are odd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9146]]></link><description><![CDATA[To liken them to your auld-warld squad, I must needs say comparisons are odd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We feel very good about delivering solid profitability while reaching our goal of 4 weeks of channel inventory ahead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35150]]></link><description><![CDATA[We feel very good about delivering solid profitability while reaching our goal of 4 weeks of channel inventory ahead of schedule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[School and education should not be confused;
