Yet we are not to omit reading the abstruser texts, which have any appearance of relating to us; but should follow the example of the Blessed Virgin, who understood not several of our Saviour's sayings, but kept them all in her heart. Were we only to learn humility thus, it would be enough; but we shall by degrees come to apprehend far more than we expected, if we diligently compare spiritual things to spiritual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whither away, Bluebird, Whither away?  The blast is chill, yet in the upper sky   Thou still canst ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whither away, Bluebird, Whither away?  The blast is chill, yet in the upper sky   Thou still canst find the color of thy wing,    The hue of May.     Warbler, why speed, thy southern flight? ah, why,      Thou, too, whose song first told us of the Spring?       Whither away?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46031]]></link><description><![CDATA[We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is.

If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were standing around offensively.
