If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all complexions the culled sovereignty Do meet, as at a fair, in her fair cheek,  Where several worthies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all complexions the culled sovereignty Do meet, as at a fair, in her fair cheek,  Where several worthies make one dignity,   Where nothing wants that want itself doth seek.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1528, and Michelangelo Buonarrotti, artist, spiritual writer, 1564  O God in heaven, have mercy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1528, and Michelangelo Buonarrotti, artist, spiritual writer, 1564  O God in heaven, have mercy on us!

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11669]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foolproof systems do not take into account the ingenuity of fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Foolproof systems do not take into account the ingenuity of fools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd love to come back, but I think they're pretty well set.
