Now, we cannot get over this plain fact by saying that it was a religious ceremony: that would be mere sophistry. It was an indulgence in the festivity of life; as plainly as words can describe, here was a banquet of human enjoyment. The very language of the master of the feast about men who had well drunk, tells us that there had been, not excess, of course, but happiness there, and merry-making. Neither can we explain away the lesson by saying that it is no example to us, for Christ was there to do good, and that what was safe for Him might be unsafe for us. For if His life is no pattern for us here in this case of accepting an invitation, in what can we be sure it is a pattern? Besides, He took His disciples there, and His mother was there: they were not shielded, as He was, by immaculate purity. He was there as a guest first, as Messiah only afterwards: thereby He declared the sacredness of natural enjoyments.... For Christianity does not destroy what is natural, but ennobles it. To turn water into wine, and what is common into what is holy, is indeed the glory of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833  The generality of nominal Christians... are almost entirely taken up with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833  The generality of nominal Christians... are almost entirely taken up with the concerns of the present world. They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[--They write here one Cornelius--Son Hath made the Hollanders an invisible eel  To swim the haven at Dunkirk, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44002]]></link><description><![CDATA[--They write here one Cornelius--Son Hath made the Hollanders an invisible eel  To swim the haven at Dunkirk, and sink all   The shipping there.    --But how is't done?     --I'll show you, sir.      It is automa, runs under water       With a snug nose, and has a nimble tail        Made like an auger, with which tail she wriggles         Betwixt the costs of a ship and sinks it straight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're doing it for one or two schools, like Wheeling Central because they are so big.

In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that sowes trusts in God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49396]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that sowes trusts in God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54010]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national literature cannot rise above the moral level of the social conditions of the people from whom it derives its inspiration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This isn't about winning 55 or 60 games.
