Thus the consummation of the two commandments was on Golgotha; and the Cross is, at once, their image and their fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We never live; we are always in the expectation of living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64665]]></link><description><![CDATA[We never live; we are always in the expectation of living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why should we put ourselves out of our way to do anything for posterity; for what has posterity done for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47846]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why should we put ourselves out of our way to do anything for posterity; for what has posterity done for us?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great man is the man who does something for the first time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63548]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great man is the man who does something for the first time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as a man confines his ideas of Christ to a rather misty hero figure of long ago who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7754]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as a man confines his ideas of Christ to a rather misty hero figure of long ago who died a tragic death, and so long as his ideas of Christianity are bounded by what he calls the Sermon on the Mount (which he has almost certainly not read in its entirety since he became grown-up), then the living truth never has a chance to touch him. This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weather forecast for tonight: dark.

Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose [it]. Mr. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the conversion of St Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks full of prejudice and a contempt for Christianity. The results of their separate endeavours was that they were both converted by their attempts to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they had expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly and congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favour of revelation -- one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St Paul", and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65950]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluctant to receive it. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32129]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluctant to receive it.

When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
