But there are also laws protecting the poor: interest (always high in the ancient East) was prohibited, and again there was a moratorium after a term of years... Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4520]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thoughts are things; they have tremendous power.
