It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frigthened. -Robert C. Murphy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22990]]></link><description><![CDATA[For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible to you.

The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So, in the Libyan fable it is told That once an eagle, stricken with a dart,  Said, when he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13091]]></link><description><![CDATA[So, in the Libyan fable it is told That once an eagle, stricken with a dart,  Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft,   "With our own feathers, not by others' hand    Are we now smitten."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no longer a warmth hidden in my veins: it's Venus entire and whole fastening on her prey. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44808]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's no longer a warmth hidden in my veins: it's Venus entire and whole fastening on her prey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53028]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way.

I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them the revelation of God to men was made, or appeared to be made, less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless the differences within the transitional federal institutions are addressed, the current political impasse could grow into deeper divisions and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40204]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unless the differences within the transitional federal institutions are addressed, the current political impasse could grow into deeper divisions and undermine the very institutions that the people of Somalia so ardently desire and the international community and the United Nations are willing to support,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
