Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will be served must bee patient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49407]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will be served must bee patient.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilized man has always had a great inclination to read his conceptions and feelings into the mind of primitive man; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilized man has always had a great inclination to read his conceptions and feelings into the mind of primitive man; but he has only a limited capacity for understanding the latter's undeveloped mental life and for interpreting, as it were, his nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lines of poetry, the period of prose, and even the texts of Scripture most frequently recollected and quoted, are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48468]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lines of poetry, the period of prose, and even the texts of Scripture most frequently recollected and quoted, are those which are felt to be preeminently musical]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But death is sure to kill all he can get And all is fish with him that comes to net. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16051]]></link><description><![CDATA[But death is sure to kill all he can get And all is fish with him that comes to net.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They brought the left-hander to turn Lance around and he came up with a big hit immediately, ...

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now the Name of Jesus is a concrete and powerful means of transforming men and women into their hidden, innermost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now the Name of Jesus is a concrete and powerful means of transforming men and women into their hidden, innermost utmost reality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, let's have one other gaudy night.
