What it did was to guarantee that the old morality was actually valid, and the old beliefs literally true. "Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust on and think To-morrow will repay; To-morrow's falser than the former day;  Lies worse; and while it says, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust on and think To-morrow will repay; To-morrow's falser than the former day;  Lies worse; and while it says, we shall be blest   With some new Joys, cuts off what we possest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A long, long kiss, a kiss of youth, and love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23824]]></link><description><![CDATA[A long, long kiss, a kiss of youth, and love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One lesson that we might draw from this incident is that we shouldn't be asking so many questions of jurors. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28729]]></link><description><![CDATA[One lesson that we might draw from this incident is that we shouldn't be asking so many questions of jurors.

But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thirty years after drafting the US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers posed by the corporation, writing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thirty years after drafting the US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers posed by the corporation, writing of the need to "crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
