This is expressed in the claim, "All men are created equal," which is something very different from the statement, "All men have equal rights and are equal before the law." Anyone who believes in the genetic uniqueness of every individual thereby believes in the conclusion, "No two individuals are created equal.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted.

For often what is one man's life may be another's death. Therefore you should observe yourself, whether your love for God is growing and your reverence is not destroyed. Then, the more frequently you go to the Sacrament, the better you will become, and the better and more profitable it will be. And therefore be not turned away from your God by words and sermons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24662]]></link><description><![CDATA[The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping.

If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If moderation is a fault, then indifference is a crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2699]]></link><description><![CDATA[If moderation is a fault, then indifference is a crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust not the physician; His antidotes are poison, and he slays  More than you rob. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust not the physician; His antidotes are poison, and he slays  More than you rob.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on rowThat mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62240]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on rowThat mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead.

And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most beautiful view is the one I share with you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66160]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most beautiful view is the one I share with you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew the way they (Cougars) played, they were going to let us back in the game.
