It is from this conviction that there springs unconquerable certainty and unquenchable faith and hope. It is not enough to believe theoretically that Jesus was both God and Man; not enough to admire, respect, and even worship Him; it is not even enough to try to follow Him. The reason for the insufficiency of these things is that the modern intelligent mind, which has had its horizons widened in dozens of different ways, has got to be shocked afresh by the audacious central Fact -- that, as a sober matter of history, God became one of us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Damn all expurgated books; the dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Damn all expurgated books; the dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These guys are not young anymore.
