It cannot make itself the slave of men, not even though the men are Peter and Paul and John; no, not even though it were the Son of Man Himself. It resents dictation, not willfully nor wantonly, but because it must; and it resents it all the more when it claims to be inspired. If, therefore, the Atonement can only be received by those who are prepared from the threshold to acknowledge the inspiration and the consequent authority of Scripture, it can never be received by modern men at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex is like snow, you never know how many inches you're going to get or how long it will last ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sex is like snow, you never know how many inches you're going to get or how long it will last]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hasten slowly, and without losing heart, put your work twenty times upon the anvil. [Fr., Hatez-vous lentement; et, sans perdre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hasten slowly, and without losing heart, put your work twenty times upon the anvil. [Fr., Hatez-vous lentement; et, sans perdre courage,  Vingt fois sur le metier remettez votre ouvrage.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Motivation is like food for the brain.

Many, indeed, will unreservedly declare, and more will hint, the opinion that the difference between the qualities above mentioned and religion, is rather a verbal or logical, than a real and essential difference; for in truth, what are they but religion in substance if not in name? Is it not the great end of religion, and, in particular, the glory of Christianity, to extinguish the malignant passions; to curb the violence, to control the appetites, and to smooth the asperities of man; to make us compassionate and kind, and forgiving one to another; to make us good husbands, good fathers, good friends; and to render us active and useful in the discharge of the relative social and civil duties? We do not deny that, in the general mass of society, and particularly in the lower orders, such conduct and tempers can not be diffused and maintained by any other medium than that of religion. But if the end be effected, surely it is only an unnecessary refinement to dispute about the means. It is even to forget your own principles; and to refuse its just place to solid, practical virtue, while you assign too high a value to speculative opinions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One trouble with trouble is that is usually starts out like fun ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59716]]></link><description><![CDATA[One trouble with trouble is that is usually starts out like fun]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've had quite a few vehicles slide off the highway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30796]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've had quite a few vehicles slide off the highway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I give you Chicago.

Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can nnot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I seek for one as fair and gay, But find none to remind me,  How blest the hours pass'd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25607]]></link><description><![CDATA[I seek for one as fair and gay, But find none to remind me,  How blest the hours pass'd away   With the girl I left behind me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1167</guid></item></channel></rss>
