And in view of what he plainly said, is it any wonder that all who were rich and prosperous felt a horror of strange things, a swimming of their world at his teaching? Perhaps the priests and the rich men understood him better than his followers. He was dragging out all the little private reservations they had made from social service into the light of a universal religious life. He was like some terrible moral huntsman digging mankind out of the snug burrows in which they had lived hitherto. In the white blaze of this kingdom of his there was to be no property, no privilege, no pride and precedence; no motive indeed and no reward but love. Is it any wonder that men were dazzled and blinded and cried out against him? Even his disciples cried out when he would not spare them the light. Is it any wonder that the priests realized that between this man and themselves there was no choice but that he or priestcraft should perish? Is it any wonder that the Roman soldiers, confronted and amazed by something soaring over their comprehension and threatening all their disciplines, should take refuge in wild laughter, and crown him with thorns and robe him in purple and make a mock Caesar of him? For to take him seriously was to enter upon a strange and alarming life, to abandon habits, to control instincts and impulses, to essay an incredible happiness... Is it any wonder that to this day this Galilean is too much for our small hearts?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's been working pretty damn well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34431]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's been working pretty damn well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who will live above his present circumstances, is in great danger of soon living beneath them; or as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39150]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who will live above his present circumstances, is in great danger of soon living beneath them; or as the Italian proverb says, "The man that lives by hope, will die by despair]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So glistered the dire Snake, and into fraud Led Eve, our credulous mother, to the Tree  Of Prohibition, root ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16635]]></link><description><![CDATA[So glistered the dire Snake, and into fraud Led Eve, our credulous mother, to the Tree  Of Prohibition, root of all our woe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18021]]></link><description><![CDATA[For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64739]]></link><description><![CDATA[Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Will you walk into my parlour?" Said a spider to a fly;  "'Tis the prettiest little parlour   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57373]]></link><description><![CDATA["Will you walk into my parlour?" Said a spider to a fly;  "'Tis the prettiest little parlour   That ever you did spy."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork - Oscar Wilde ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14232]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork - Oscar Wilde]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In politics stupidity is not a handicap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46918]]></link><description><![CDATA[In politics stupidity is not a handicap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't mind being a little bit lower and a little underestimated.
