Everywhere the man who, so far as he comprehends Jesus Christ, so far as he can get any knowledge of Him, is His servant -- the man who makes Christ a teacher of his intelligence and the guide of his soul -- the man who obeys Christ as far as he has been able to understand him... I would know any man as a Christian, would rejoice to know any man as a Christian, whom Jesus would recognize as a Christian; and Jesus Christ, I am sure, in these old days recognized His followers even if they came after Him with the blindest sight, with the most imperfect recognition and acknowledgment of what He was and of what He could do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hard features every bungler can command: To draw true beauty shows a master's hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hard features every bungler can command: To draw true beauty shows a master's hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873   Here [in the Gospels] is something that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873   Here [in the Gospels] is something that the layman can hold on to, quite apart from the vagaries of critical scholarship, for it is a portrait unaffected by the authenticity of any particular saying or story. Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have heard The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,  Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8938]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have heard The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,  Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat   Awake the god of the day, and at his warning,    Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,     Th' extravagant and erring spirit hies      To his confine; and of the truth herein       This present object made probation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you get older, it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19242]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you get older, it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To extend our memories by monuments, whose death we daily pray for, and whose duration we cannot hope, without injury ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43037]]></link><description><![CDATA[To extend our memories by monuments, whose death we daily pray for, and whose duration we cannot hope, without injury to our expectations in the advent of the last day, were a contradiction to our belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unity and self-sacrifice, of themselves, even when fostered by the most noble means, produce a facility for hating.
