He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One day the world will look upon researchon animals as it now looks upon research on human beings.Da Vinci. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3307]]></link><description><![CDATA[One day the world will look upon researchon animals as it now looks upon research on human beings.Da Vinci.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A deadly echidna once bit a Cappadocian; she herself died, having tasted the Poison-flinging blood. [Lat., Vipera Cappadocem nocitura mormordit; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46866]]></link><description><![CDATA[A deadly echidna once bit a Cappadocian; she herself died, having tasted the Poison-flinging blood. [Lat., Vipera Cappadocem nocitura mormordit; at illa Gustato perit sanguine Cappadocis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An optimist is a guy who has never had much experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45189]]></link><description><![CDATA[An optimist is a guy who has never had much experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have concluded it is possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33938]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have concluded it is possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A jest loses its point when the jester laughs himself. [Ger., Des Spass verliert Alles, wenn der Spassmacher selber lacht.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23240]]></link><description><![CDATA[A jest loses its point when the jester laughs himself. [Ger., Des Spass verliert Alles, wenn der Spassmacher selber lacht.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best-concerted schemes men lay for fame, Die fast away: only themselves die faster.  The far-fam'd sculptor, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15092]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best-concerted schemes men lay for fame, Die fast away: only themselves die faster.  The far-fam'd sculptor, and the laurell'd bard,   Those bold insurancers of deathless fame,    Supply their little feeble aids in vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glorious are the woods in their latest gold and crimson, Yet our full-leaved willows are in the freshest green.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glorious are the woods in their latest gold and crimson, Yet our full-leaved willows are in the freshest green.  Such a kindly autumn, so mercifully dealing   With the growths of summer, I never yet have seen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a really hard decision.
