No, here was a sequence of great character and emancipated spirit, all attached to and explained by such a personality as the world never saw; and the central doctrine of the risen Christ squared with the rationality and the goodness of God... The wise said that God and the godlike could have no contact with suffering, but Jesus was no phantom feigning to be crucified; he truly suffered on the cross, he truly rose. Suffering is a language all can understand, and none can quite exhaust; and the suffering Christ, victorious over pain and death, meant for all who grasped his significance a new faith in God, a new freedom of mind in God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fire is the most tolerable third party ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fire is the most tolerable third party]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If... you are ever tempted to think that we modern Western Europeans cannot really be so very bad because we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8513]]></link><description><![CDATA[If... you are ever tempted to think that we modern Western Europeans cannot really be so very bad because we are, comparatively speaking, humane -- if, in other words, you think God might be content with us on that ground -- ask yourself whether you think God ought to have been content with the cruelty of past ages because they excelled in courage or chastity. You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find that a man is as old as his work.

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a lie is repeated often enough all the dumb jackasses in the world not only get to believe it, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24798]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a lie is repeated often enough all the dumb jackasses in the world not only get to believe it, they even swear by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How could drops of water know themselves to be a river?

I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not seldom clad in radiant vest Deceitfully goes forth the dawn,  Not seldom evening in the west   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51860]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not seldom clad in radiant vest Deceitfully goes forth the dawn,  Not seldom evening in the west   Sinks smilingly forsworn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A witty statesman said, you might prove anything by figures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44710]]></link><description><![CDATA[A witty statesman said, you might prove anything by figures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man of pleasure is a man of pains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45376]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man of pleasure is a man of pains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But sometimes you have to do what you have to do, ...
