Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Online campaigning is becoming more commonplace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Online campaigning is becoming more commonplace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know. [Lat., Non me pudet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20404]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know. [Lat., Non me pudet fateri nescire quod nesciam.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If ignorance is bliss, there should be more happy people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20428]]></link><description><![CDATA[If ignorance is bliss, there should be more happy people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those first seven 3-point shots were basically the ball game.

He is oppressed by a sense of impotence in the grasp of merciless forces which he can neither overcome nor escape. These forces may be Frankenstein monsters of man's own creation, or they may be horrors outside his conscious control; either way, he is intimidated by the vastness of those fateful currents which threaten to sweep him on to destruction, whether he will or no. And to modern man in his frustration and despair, the full-orbed gospel of Christ, as Paul presents it to the Colossians, is the one message of hope. Christ crucified and risen is Lord of all; all the forces in the universe, well-disposed and ill-disposed, are subject to Him. To be united to Christ by faith is to throw off the thraldom of hostile powers, to enjoy perfect freedom, to gain the mastery over the dominion of evil -- because Christ's victory is ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From lower to the higher next, Not to the top, is Nature's text;  And embryo good, to reach full ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48370]]></link><description><![CDATA[From lower to the higher next, Not to the top, is Nature's text;  And embryo good, to reach full stature,   Absorbs the evil in its nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397   No one can deny that the New Testament has variety ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397   No one can deny that the New Testament has variety as well as unity. It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond? There can be no doubt that that which unites them is a common relation to Christ -- a common faith in Him, involving religious convictions about Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[hemorrhaging of the Democratic base usually happens when the incumbent mayor is perceived as the winner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35632]]></link><description><![CDATA[hemorrhaging of the Democratic base usually happens when the incumbent mayor is perceived as the winner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11828]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In principle, there are no problems. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28337]]></link><description><![CDATA[In principle, there are no problems.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He still loves Moe, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35859]]></link><description><![CDATA[He still loves Moe,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism's high-minded principles and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism's high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values.
