On the other hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with, to play with, to suffer and to enjoy. It is not the eyes of others that I am wary of, but of my own. I do not intend to let myself down more than I can possibly help, and I find that the fewer illusions I have about myself or the world around me, the better company I am for myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brevity is the soul of lingerie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brevity is the soul of lingerie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dissensions, like small streams, are first begun, Scarce seen they rise, but gather as they run:  So lines that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12558]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dissensions, like small streams, are first begun, Scarce seen they rise, but gather as they run:  So lines that from their parallel decline,   More they proceed the more they still disjoin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The right to be let alone is the underlying principle of the Constitution's Bill of Rights. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47336]]></link><description><![CDATA[The right to be let alone is the underlying principle of the Constitution's Bill of Rights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Flies and the Honey-PotA number of Flies were attracted to a jar of honey which had been overturned in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1532]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Flies and the Honey-PotA number of Flies were attracted to a jar of honey which had been overturned in a housekeeper's room, and placing their feet in it, ate greedily. Their feet, however, became so smeared with the honey that they could not use their wings, nor release themselves, and were suffocated.

A long series of rejections and subsequent attendant conditions follow the rejections of the Bible as God's Word. Next to that rejection has come the rejection of the God of the Bible. Next, there usually follows a rejection of the Bible's presentation of man as a lost rebel against God, [and then] comes the rejection of biblical morality and ethics. [After] all of these, the next step is a short one--the rejection of biblical obedience to the laws of God and man. And, of course, many more items of rejection can be added to the list.
