Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings of Jesus or of imagining the life and character revealed in the Gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St. Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers, in whom nothing is more evident than that the good which was in them was all derived, as they always professed that it was derived, from the higher source.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a pretty flimflam. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48518]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a pretty flimflam.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the hornet hangs in the holly hock, And the brown bee drones i' the rose,  And the west ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19612]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the hornet hangs in the holly hock, And the brown bee drones i' the rose,  And the west is a red-streaked four-o'clock,   And summer is near its close--    It's--Oh, for the gate, and the locust lane;     And dusk, and dew, and home again!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are what we must And not what we would be.

Now, we cannot get over this plain fact by saying that it was a religious ceremony: that would be mere sophistry. It was an indulgence in the festivity of life; as plainly as words can describe, here was a banquet of human enjoyment. The very language of the master of the feast about men who had well drunk, tells us that there had been, not excess, of course, but happiness there, and merry-making. Neither can we explain away the lesson by saying that it is no example to us, for Christ was there to do good, and that what was safe for Him might be unsafe for us. For if His life is no pattern for us here in this case of accepting an invitation, in what can we be sure it is a pattern? Besides, He took His disciples there, and His mother was there: they were not shielded, as He was, by immaculate purity. He was there as a guest first, as Messiah only afterwards: thereby He declared the sacredness of natural enjoyments.... For Christianity does not destroy what is natural, but ennobles it. To turn water into wine, and what is common into what is holy, is indeed the glory of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52512]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47138]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["God works in many ways His wonders to perform."
