It is important at a funeral to display excessive grief. This will show others how kind-hearted and loving you are and their improved opinion of you will be very comforting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48665]]></link><description><![CDATA[Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behind the words of Jesus and the memories about him, there shines forth a self-authenticating portrait of a real person ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behind the words of Jesus and the memories about him, there shines forth a self-authenticating portrait of a real person in all his human uniqueness, an impression which is accessible alike to the layman and to the expert, to believer and non-believer. No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating, and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a women and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your neighbor is the man who needs you ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your neighbor is the man who needs you]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[POINT OF VIEW Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thanklessChristmas dinner's dark and blueWhen you stop and try to see itFrom the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/205]]></link><description><![CDATA[POINT OF VIEW Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thanklessChristmas dinner's dark and blueWhen you stop and try to see itFrom the turkey's point of view.Sunday dinner isn't sunnyEaster feasts are just bad luckWhen you see it from the viewpointOf a chicken or a duck.Oh how I once loved tuna saladPork and lobsters, lamb chops tooTill I stopped and looked at dinnerFrom the dinner's point of view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Andrew the Apostle   Without ordinances, men would be much more mischievous and ungovernable than dogs and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Andrew the Apostle   Without ordinances, men would be much more mischievous and ungovernable than dogs and cattle.
