For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Repartee is perfect when it effects its purpose with a double edge.

The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ... John Henry Newman, "What is a University?" August 12, 2000   Any single verse of the Bible, taken in isolation, may actually be dangerous to your spiritual health. Every part of it must be read in relation to the whole message.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58174]]></link><description><![CDATA[If man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his house, tho it be in the woods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cisco has an excellent track record of meeting analysts' expectations and the probability of them missing the estimate is low. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31758]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cisco has an excellent track record of meeting analysts' expectations and the probability of them missing the estimate is low.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I try to control too much, the flow is gone.
