First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In all the sins of men, God principally regards the principle -- that is, the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7079]]></link><description><![CDATA[In all the sins of men, God principally regards the principle -- that is, the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence is nothing without delight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence is nothing without delight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4011]]></link><description><![CDATA[When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two ways to live your life.

Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each day provides its own gifts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each day provides its own gifts]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52646]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding.
