For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540   The attitude of Jesus to the Jewish law was singularly free and unembarrassed. He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people really liked to work, we'd still be plowing the land with sticks and transporting goods on our backs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27796]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people really liked to work, we'd still be plowing the land with sticks and transporting goods on our backs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is a dangerous thing; it makes one see that the popular notions of society are wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is a dangerous thing; it makes one see that the popular notions of society are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free - however free one can be on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5039]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free - however free one can be on this planet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should compete with most anyone in the league. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39962]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should compete with most anyone in the league.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The limits and boundaries (of the party) should not be crossed.
