Theday being intensely hot, and the sun shining in its strength, theTraveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat underthe Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one,and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it, aviolent dispute arose between them as to which of them had theright to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let theAss only, and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had,with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also. The quarrelproceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the Assgalloped off. In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love, not force, rides the horse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love, not force, rides the horse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing happens by itself... it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing happens by itself... it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art always has something of the unconscious about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art always has something of the unconscious about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540   The attitude of Jesus to the Jewish law was singularly free and unembarrassed. 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[The soda fountain will be open all evening long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33526]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soda fountain will be open all evening long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item></channel></rss>
