No, what's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that.

Not that we are bound to believe any thing against reason, that is, to believe, we know not why. It is but a slack opinion, it is not Belief, that is not grounded upon Reason. It is true, we have not a Demonstration; not such an Evidence as that one and two are three, to prove these to be Scriptures of God; God hath not proceeded in that manner, to drive our reason into a pound, and to force it by a peremptory necessity to accept these for Scriptures, for then, here had been no exercise of our Will, and our assent, if we could not have resisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285 Beginning a short series on prayer:   Have you noticed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285 Beginning a short series on prayer:   Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late -- and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better be courted and jilted Than never be courted at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62013]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better be courted and jilted Than never be courted at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good Friday  They say it was old sins that troubled him, the past failures of the man, that made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good Friday  They say it was old sins that troubled him, the past failures of the man, that made things difficult for him now. There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although I enter not, Yet round about the spot  Ofttimes I hover;   And near the sacred gate, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14636]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although I enter not, Yet round about the spot  Ofttimes I hover;   And near the sacred gate,    With longing eyes I wait,     Expectant of her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here lies our mutton-looking king, Whose word no man relied on,  Who never said a foolish thing   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here lies our mutton-looking king, Whose word no man relied on,  Who never said a foolish thing   No ever did a wise one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At some point, when stretched so far, you break.

But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become the meditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of our understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52183</guid></item></channel></rss>
