Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings of Jesus or of imagining the life and character revealed in the Gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St. Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers, in whom nothing is more evident than that the good which was in them was all derived, as they always professed that it was derived, from the higher source.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Higher than the perfect song For which love longeth,  Is the tender fear of wrong,   That never ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Higher than the perfect song For which love longeth,  Is the tender fear of wrong,   That never wrongeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53632]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...tenderness, infatuation, adulation, idolatry - that isn't much to ask, is it Charles?

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[It is annoying to be honest to no purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64572]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is annoying to be honest to no purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22860]]></link><description><![CDATA[Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a compromiser and a maneuverer.

The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because we can expect future generations to be richer than we are, no matter what we do about resources, asking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because we can expect future generations to be richer than we are, no matter what we do about resources, asking us to refrain from using resources now so that future generations can have them later is like asking the poor to make gifts to the rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're trying to tell our family: Shut up or this is going to happen again.

If he went out to the Ahaggar plateau, it was not only to find but also to proclaim God, thereby teaching the gospel in a way which desert people could understand. After his death, the example set by this hermit was followed by others who, far from settling in the desert places of the Sahara, set out to mingle with the peopled deserts of the great cities, there to preach the gospel by their example and their very presence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that steals an egge, will steal an oxe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49399]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that steals an egge, will steal an oxe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49399</guid></item></channel></rss>
