I see that morning in Thy convert's tears,  Fresh as the dew, which but this downing wears.  I smell her spices; and her ointment yields  As rich a scent as the now primrosed fields:  The Day-star smiles, and light, with Thee deceased,  Now shines in all the chambers of the East.  ...

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to be smart.

We are afraid of the jeer about "pie in the sky", and of being told that we are trying to "escape" from the duty of making a happy world here and now, into dreams of a better world elsewhere. But either there is "pie in the sky" or there is not. If there is not, then Christianity is false, for this doctrine is woven into its whole fabric. If there is, then this doctrine, like any other, must be faced, whether it is useful at political meetings or no.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An inch in missing is as bad as an ell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48975]]></link><description><![CDATA[An inch in missing is as bad as an ell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A generation of Christians reared among push buttons and automatic machines is impatient of slower and less direct methods of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6950]]></link><description><![CDATA[A generation of Christians reared among push buttons and automatic machines is impatient of slower and less direct methods of reaching their goals. We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All pain is either severe or slight, if slight, it is easily endured; if severe, it will without doubt be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26877]]></link><description><![CDATA[All pain is either severe or slight, if slight, it is easily endured; if severe, it will without doubt be brief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will have an even better car in Phoenix than [the rebuilt car] at Mid-Ohio when the crash compromised the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42297]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will have an even better car in Phoenix than [the rebuilt car] at Mid-Ohio when the crash compromised the vehicle and limited us.
