This is, of course, why many otherwise honest intellectual people will construct a neat by-pass around the claim of Jesus to be God. Being people of insight and imagination, they know perfectly well that once to accept such a claim as fact would mean a readjustment of their own purposes and values and affections which they may have no wish to make. To call Jesus the greatest Figure in History or the finest Moral Teacher the world has ever seen commits no one to anything. But once to allow the startled mind to accept as fact that this man is really focused-God may commit anyone to anything! There is every excuse for blundering in the dark, but in the light there is no cover from reality. It is because we strongly sense this, and not merely because we feel that the evidence is ancient and scanty, that we shrink from committing ourselves to such a far-reaching belief as that Jesus Christ was really God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thousand trills and quivering sounds In airy circles o'er us fly,  Till, wafted by a gentle breeze,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57289]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thousand trills and quivering sounds In airy circles o'er us fly,  Till, wafted by a gentle breeze,   They faint and languish by degrees,    And at a distance die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This whole thing has gone beyond the likely scenario. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30046]]></link><description><![CDATA[This whole thing has gone beyond the likely scenario.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth and never cherishes any memory ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53682]]></link><description><![CDATA[I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth and never cherishes any memory except the face of the woman on the American silver dollar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have mixed feelings about these long European stages.

There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The samples of Martian rock and soil would be in a container designed to withstand the impact and maintain its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41701]]></link><description><![CDATA[The samples of Martian rock and soil would be in a container designed to withstand the impact and maintain its integrity as well as the integrity of the samples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By my penny of observation. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64267]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,  That mark our place, and in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47689]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,  That mark our place, and in the sky,   The larks, still bravely singing, fly    Scarce heard among the guns below.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our God and soldiers we alike adore ev'n at the brink of danger; not before: After deliverance, both alike requited, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our God and soldiers we alike adore ev'n at the brink of danger; not before: After deliverance, both alike requited, Our God's forgotten, and our soldiers slighted]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a veteran volunteer fire fighter, as well as a filmmaker, I wanted to share my experience of what it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40997]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a veteran volunteer fire fighter, as well as a filmmaker, I wanted to share my experience of what it was really like at Ground Zero from the perspective of the rescue and recovery workers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41047]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I can bring a positive image back to the commission.
