And in view of what he plainly said, is it any wonder that all who were rich and prosperous felt a horror of strange things, a swimming of their world at his teaching? Perhaps the priests and the rich men understood him better than his followers. He was dragging out all the little private reservations they had made from social service into the light of a universal religious life. He was like some terrible moral huntsman digging mankind out of the snug burrows in which they had lived hitherto. In the white blaze of this kingdom of his there was to be no property, no privilege, no pride and precedence; no motive indeed and no reward but love. Is it any wonder that men were dazzled and blinded and cried out against him? Even his disciples cried out when he would not spare them the light. Is it any wonder that the priests realized that between this man and themselves there was no choice but that he or priestcraft should perish? Is it any wonder that the Roman soldiers, confronted and amazed by something soaring over their comprehension and threatening all their disciplines, should take refuge in wild laughter, and crown him with thorns and robe him in purple and make a mock Caesar of him? For to take him seriously was to enter upon a strange and alarming life, to abandon habits, to control instincts and impulses, to essay an incredible happiness... Is it any wonder that to this day this Galilean is too much for our small hearts?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They hear a voice in every wind, And snatch a fearful joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23427]]></link><description><![CDATA[They hear a voice in every wind, And snatch a fearful joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can teach from our experience, but we cannot teach experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14664]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can teach from our experience, but we cannot teach experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have on out hands a sick man,--a very sick man.

And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature -- either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is news that stays news. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is news that stays news.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The trouble with nearly everybody who prays is that he says "Amen" ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The trouble with nearly everybody who prays is that he says "Amen" and runs away before God has a chance to reply.

To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disease is the tax which the soul pays for the body, as the tenant pays house-rent for the use of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Disease is the tax which the soul pays for the body, as the tenant pays house-rent for the use of the house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas blow for blow, disputing inch by inch, For one would not retreat, nor t'other flinch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3042]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas blow for blow, disputing inch by inch, For one would not retreat, nor t'other flinch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something's going to happen in Cornwall on a bridge.
