Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love to come in and play with a wig or glasses or clothes.

Although I became familiar with the contemporary and recent studies of honest, competent scholars who questioned them, I was convinced that the historical evidence confirms the virgin birth and the bodily resurrection of Christ. Increasingly, I believed that the nearest verbal approach that we human beings can come to the great mystery is to affirm that Christ is both fully man and fully God. Although now we see Him not, yet believing, we can "rejoice with joy unspeakable" in what the Triune God has done and is doing through Him. This Good News, so rich that it is stated in a variety of ways, but always consistently, in the New Testament, is what we always imperfect children, but children [yet], are privileged -- and commanded -- to make known and to demonstrate to all mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, And wretches hang that jurymen may dine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, And wretches hang that jurymen may dine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some people who knock the pyramids because they don't have elevators. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1236]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some people who knock the pyramids because they don't have elevators.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nurture your mind with great thoughts; to believe in the heroic makes heroes ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nurture your mind with great thoughts; to believe in the heroic makes heroes]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I technically have two last names, which is a lot of fun when you're making airline reservations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41259]]></link><description><![CDATA[I technically have two last names, which is a lot of fun when you're making airline reservations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affliction's sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affliction's sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every few seconds it changes - up an eighth, down an eighth - it's like playing a slot machine.
