Though there was a little superstition in this, yet truly there is nothing but good religion in it, if we apply it to men. Trample not on any; there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of. The name of God may be written upon that soul thou treadest on; it may be a soul that Christ thought so much of, as to give His precious blood for it; therefore despise it not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cold is thy hopeless heart, even as charity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cold is thy hopeless heart, even as charity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The WB and ABC are taking some of their more familiar shows and moving them to Thursday just points out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30408]]></link><description><![CDATA[The WB and ABC are taking some of their more familiar shows and moving them to Thursday just points out its going to be an exceedingly competitive time period, ... and points out the popularity of Thursday night as a source of advertising revenues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're our biggest corporate donor and so of course we look forward to that funding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40106]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're our biggest corporate donor and so of course we look forward to that funding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The king-becoming graces, As justice, verity, temp'rance, stableness,  Bounty, perseverance, mercy, lowliness,   Devotion, patience, courage, fortitude,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The king-becoming graces, As justice, verity, temp'rance, stableness,  Bounty, perseverance, mercy, lowliness,   Devotion, patience, courage, fortitude,    I have no relish of them, but abound     In the division of each several crime,      Acting in many ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes when we love we are stuck loving someone who has no desire to change, or no desire to work ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes when we love we are stuck loving someone who has no desire to change, or no desire to work things out with us in an effort to make things better, or to keep the relationship on a track of growth and fulfillment.

On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a place to be in is an old library!

It remains the great problem of interpretation, hitherto never entirely solved, how to unite these two things: the keen attention to what Paul wanted to say to that community then, and the search for what God wants to say to us through Paul today. In the end, the question is whether the reader will really allow God to speak to him, or whether he evades God by hiding behind "Paul", behind "the past".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intimacies between women often go backwards, beginning in revelations and ending in small talk without loss of esteem ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intimacies between women often go backwards, beginning in revelations and ending in small talk without loss of esteem]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis midnight now.
