For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not bear sweets; we are recruited by a bitter potion. [Lat., Dulcia non ferimus; succo renovamus amaro.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26703]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not bear sweets; we are recruited by a bitter potion. [Lat., Dulcia non ferimus; succo renovamus amaro.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The girls had to play in the rain for most of the first nine holes and the wind was gusting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32440]]></link><description><![CDATA[The girls had to play in the rain for most of the first nine holes and the wind was gusting for the whole day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...originality consists of the achievement of new combinations, and not of the creation of something out of nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52008]]></link><description><![CDATA[...originality consists of the achievement of new combinations, and not of the creation of something out of nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739   There never was a pain that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739   There never was a pain that befell a man, no frustration or discouragement, however insignificant, that, transferred to God, did not affect God endlessly more than man, and was not infinitely more contrary to Him. So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66671]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In line with this trend, revenue recognition on a number of larger banking projects will now occur later than anticipated, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40005]]></link><description><![CDATA[In line with this trend, revenue recognition on a number of larger banking projects will now occur later than anticipated,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before the reward there must be labor.
