But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54132]]></link><description><![CDATA[A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56225]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It just shows how global basketball is, how unifying basketball is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28869]]></link><description><![CDATA[It just shows how global basketball is, how unifying basketball is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clothes make the man.

Men might allege that they had seen the risen Lord; but that was nothing till they themselves were known. The witness of the resurrection was not the word of Paul (as we see at Athens) nor of the Eleven; it was the new power in life and death that the world saw in changed men... The legend of a reputed resurrection of some unknown person in Palestine nobody needed to consider; but what were you to do with the people who died in the arena, the reborn slaves with their newness of life in your own house? And when you "looked into the story", it was no mere somebody or other of whom they told it. The conviction of the people you knew, amazing in its power of transforming character and winning first the goodwill and the trust and then the conversion of others, was supported and confirmed by the nature and personality of the Man of whom they spoke, of whom you read in their books. "Never man spake like this man", you read, nor thought like this man, nor like this man believed in God. I can not but think that the factors that make a man Christian to-day were those that won the world then, our age and that age, in culture, in hopes and fears in loss of nerve, are not unlike.
