Not along this track lies the path of moral progress. Christianity says: face the evil once for all, and disown it. Then quiet the spirit in the presence of God. Let His perfections fill the field of vision. In particular, let the concrete embodiment of the goodness of God in Christ attract and absorb the gaze of the soul. Here is the righteousness, not as a fixed and abstract ideal, but in a living human person. The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who rises from prayer a better man, his prayer is answered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who rises from prayer a better man, his prayer is answered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Originality is the one thing which unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Originality is the one thing which unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History as a discipline can be characterized as having a collective forgetfulness about women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19365]]></link><description><![CDATA[History as a discipline can be characterized as having a collective forgetfulness about women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was ugly.

It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4945]]></link><description><![CDATA[We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing or Harvard.

No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.
