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[Every man is dishonest who lives upon the labor of others, no matter if he occupies a throne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man is dishonest who lives upon the labor of others, no matter if he occupies a throne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suspicion is the courageous side of weakness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58402]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suspicion is the courageous side of weakness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure, and pleasure my business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2187]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure, and pleasure my business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long.

But too often, instead of being the radical, standing against the shifting sands of relativism, he subsides into merely maintaing the status quo. If it is true that evil is evil, that God hates it to the point of the cross, and that there is a moral law fixed in what God is in Himself, then Christians should be the first into the field against what is wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47941]]></link><description><![CDATA[To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it: the pains of power are real, its pleasure imaginary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching. -Roy L.
