If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/676]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65003]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lauk! what a monstrous tail our cat has got! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lauk! what a monstrous tail our cat has got!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Arrogant powers intend to make countries local and national economy bankrupt in an attempt to make more benefits from establishing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Arrogant powers intend to make countries local and national economy bankrupt in an attempt to make more benefits from establishing a big market]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stronger always succeeds. [Lat., Plus potest qui plus valet.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57945]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stronger always succeeds. [Lat., Plus potest qui plus valet.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And many strokes, though with a little axe, Hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak. -King Henry VI.

An Ox gave him this kindly warning: O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your enemy?' The Stag replied: Only allow me, friend, to stay where I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting my escape. At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him. The Stag, congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need. One of them again answered him: We indeed wish you well, but the danger is not over. There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life is still in peril. At that moment the master himself entered, and having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went up to their racks and cried out: Why is there such a scarcity of fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on. Those lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away. While he thus examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag peeping out of the straw. Then summoning his laborers, he ordered that the Stag should be seized and killed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I came to the place of my birth and cried: "The friends of my youth, where are they?"--and an echo ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13299]]></link><description><![CDATA[I came to the place of my birth and cried: "The friends of my youth, where are they?"--and an echo answered, "Where are they?"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know nothing about sex, because I was always married. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53287]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know nothing about sex, because I was always married.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  You must not lose confidence in God because you lost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  You must not lose confidence in God because you lost confidence in your pastor.
