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[[The impression is] that Dade County is like Alice in Wonderland where up is down, down is up, ...

For one thing, it implies that we have no spiritual ambition, else we should not be satisfied with such poor lives; that we cannot have thought out the fact of Jesus Christ, and how immeasurably He has raised the standard. Will you hang your wretched daubs beside the works of Titian and Michelangelo and not be shamed by the enormous contrast -- stand back and say, with a satisfied smirk, "That is pretty good, you know!"? And can you live face to face with Jesus Christ, and be content with what you are?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn not in the school, but in life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54768]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn not in the school, but in life]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are moms who choose not to work outside the home, but they aren't polishing silver; they're playing with their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34385]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are moms who choose not to work outside the home, but they aren't polishing silver; they're playing with their kids -- (or) home schooling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Purity of mind and idleness are incompatible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Purity of mind and idleness are incompatible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You clearly have to keep watching this inflation issue.
