No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let echo, too, perform her part, Prolonging every note with art;  And in a low expiring strain,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let echo, too, perform her part, Prolonging every note with art;  And in a low expiring strain,   Play all the comfort o'er again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The birds chaunt melody on every bush, The snake lies rolled in the cheerful sun,  The green leaves quiver ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13301]]></link><description><![CDATA[The birds chaunt melody on every bush, The snake lies rolled in the cheerful sun,  The green leaves quiver with the cooling wind,   And make a checkered shadow on the ground;    Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit,     And whilst the babbling echo mocks the hounds,      Replying shrilly to the well-tuned horns,       As if a double hunt were heard at once,        Let us sit down and mark their yellowing noise;         And after conflict such as was supposed          The wand'ring prince and Dido once enjoyed,           When with a happy storm they were surprised,            And curtained with a counsel-keeping cave,             We may, each wreathed in the other's arms,              Our pastimes done, possess a golden slumber,               Whiles hounds and horns and sweet melodious birds                Be unto us as is a nurse's song                 Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To leave this keen encounter of our wits. -King Richard III.
