Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Texas functions best when public officials recognize that government does not belong to them but to the people, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Texas functions best when public officials recognize that government does not belong to them but to the people,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. -Anais Nin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. -Anais Nin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've found that the more open officials are, the more their constituents feel a part of the process. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34475]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've found that the more open officials are, the more their constituents feel a part of the process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust on and think To-morrow will repay; To-morrow's falser than the former day;  Lies worse; and while it says, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust on and think To-morrow will repay; To-morrow's falser than the former day;  Lies worse; and while it says, we shall be blest   With some new Joys, cuts off what we possest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first thing I've learned is to trust nobody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65037]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first thing I've learned is to trust nobody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thing to judge in any jazz artist is, does the man project and does he have ideas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23138]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thing to judge in any jazz artist is, does the man project and does he have ideas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People should be very excited about what's going to happen, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33185]]></link><description><![CDATA[People should be very excited about what's going to happen,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A newspaper should be the maximum of information, and the minimum of comment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44490]]></link><description><![CDATA[A newspaper should be the maximum of information, and the minimum of comment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poor dancer will be disturbed even by the hem of her skirt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11008]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poor dancer will be disturbed even by the hem of her skirt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context -- a chair in a room, a room ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context -- a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan. - "Time", July 2, 1956.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is totally paradoxical.
