The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charm is a product of the unexpected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2870]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charm is a product of the unexpected.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Egad, I think the interpreter is the hardest to be understood of the two! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Egad, I think the interpreter is the hardest to be understood of the two!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast fair forms that move With queenly tread;  Thou hast proud fanes above   Thy mighty dread. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast fair forms that move With queenly tread;  Thou hast proud fanes above   Thy mighty dread.    Yet wears thy Tiber's shore     A mournful mien:--      Rome, Rome, thou art no more       As thou hast been.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not glorified in any transaction upon earth so much as in the conversion of a sinner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29564]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not glorified in any transaction upon earth so much as in the conversion of a sinner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9900]]></link><description><![CDATA["The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.

It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. -The Merchant of Venice. Act iv. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
