Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some love to roam o'er the dark sea's foam, Where the shrill winds whistle free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some love to roam o'er the dark sea's foam, Where the shrill winds whistle free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still people are dangerous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Still people are dangerous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness. -James Thurber. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness. -James Thurber.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist  Father eternal, ruler of creation, Spirit of life, which moved ere form was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6918]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist  Father eternal, ruler of creation, Spirit of life, which moved ere form was made  Through the thick darkness covering every nation  Light to man's blindness, O be Thou our aid. Races and peoples, lo, we stand divided,  And, sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;  By wars and tumults love is mocked, derided  His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear. Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded, Nation by nation still goes unforgiven, In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,  Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven. Lust of possession worketh desolations;  There is no meekness in the sons of earth;  Led by no star, the rulers of the nations  Still fail to bring us to the blissful birth: How shall we love Thee, holy hidden Being,  If we love not the world which Thou hast made?  O give us brother-love for better seeing  Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw.

Let us not think of it vaguely, and fall into the heretical fancy that the Son of God became man merely to transact certain things which were necessary to secure the salvation of men, and that after this object was achieved His human nature recedes into the background and impenetrable obscurity. No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is in the end to be thrown down, Begins by being first set on high. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21107]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is in the end to be thrown down, Begins by being first set on high.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created.

Abp. William Temple  November 7, 2001 Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739   The social gospel is not an addendum to the gospel; it is the gospel. If we read the Gospels, it becomes clear that it was not what Jesus said about God that got him into trouble (but) his treatment of men and women, his way of being friendly with outcasts with whom no respectable Jew would have anything to do. It has always been fairly safe to talk about God; it is when we start to talk about men that the trouble starts. And yet the fact remains that there is no conceivable way of proving that we love God other than by loving men. And there is no conceivable way of proving that we love men than by doing something for those who most need help.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is important in life is life, and not the result of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46228]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That reverend vice, that grey iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in years. -King Henry IV.
