In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The point is that descriptive writing is very rarely entirely accurate and during the reign of Olaf Quimby II as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24591]]></link><description><![CDATA[The point is that descriptive writing is very rarely entirely accurate and during the reign of Olaf Quimby II as Patrician of Ankh-Morpork some legislation was passed in a determined attempt to put a stop to this sort of thing and introduce some honesty to reporting.Thus, if a legend told of a notable hero that all men spoke of his prowess any bard who valued his life would hastily add except for a couple of people in his home village who thought he was a loony, and quite a lot of other people who had never really heard of him. Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like: His mighty steed was fast as the wind, on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three, any loose talk about a beloved having a face that could launch a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed own a very large seaport. Patrician Olaf II was eventually killed during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb The Pen is mightier than the Sword.In his memory it was decided that the proverb would from now on include the phrase: only if the Sword is very small and the Pen very sharp.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66850]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn\'t intended.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the Spanish proverb says, "He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59624]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the Spanish proverb says, "He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him."

At last, having long waited in vain, he laid aside his flute, and casting his net into the sea, made an excellent haul of fish. When he saw them leaping about in the net upon the rock he said: O you most perverse creatures, when I piped you would not dance, but now that I have ceased you do so merrily.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cards were at first for benefits designed, sent to amuse, not to enslave the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cards were at first for benefits designed, sent to amuse, not to enslave the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marcus Banks had three years here, to play, and he had three coaches (Jim O'Brien, John Carroll, Doc Rivers) that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32637]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marcus Banks had three years here, to play, and he had three coaches (Jim O'Brien, John Carroll, Doc Rivers) that weren't real excited about him.
