If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All work, even cotton-spinning, is noble; work is alone noble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62084]]></link><description><![CDATA[All work, even cotton-spinning, is noble; work is alone noble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not want to provoke a frontal confrontation between the students and the military because if that happens, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33547]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not want to provoke a frontal confrontation between the students and the military because if that happens, the whole society loses because it would only lead to more anarchical violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fragrance always remains on the hand that gives the rose. -Gandhi. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55248]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fragrance always remains on the hand that gives the rose. -Gandhi.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the great right of an excessive wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62457]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the great right of an excessive wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miss: A title with which we brand unmarried women to indicate that they are in the market.
