Sacrifice was then the only sufficient means of remaining in harmonious relation to God. No Hebrew dared neglect this obligation. It was adequate for the period in which God intended it should serve. This is not the same as saying, however, that Levitical sacrifice was on an equal with the sacrifice of Christ, nor that the blood of bulls and goats could, from God's side, take away sins; but it is recognizing the reality of the divine institution of Mosaic worship, and looking, as too often Old Testament interpreters fail to do, at sacrifice and priestly ritual from the viewpoint of the Hebrew in the Old Testament dispensation. Sacrifice, to the pious Hebrew, was not something insignificant, nor simply a perfunctory ritual, but it was an important element in his moral obedience to the revealed will of God. Sacrifice was by its very nature, which involved faith and repentance on the part of the worshiper and the putting to death of his substitute victim; intensely personal, ethical, moral, and spiritual, because it was intended to reflect the attitude of the heart and will toward God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.  Of all the wonders ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.  Of all the wonders that I yet have heard.   It seems to me most strange that men should fear,    Seeing that death, a necessary end,     Will come when it will come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was never law, or set, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53456]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was never law, or set, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay, Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme,  Can blazon evil ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10654]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay, Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme,  Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobly he yokes A smiling with a sigh, as if the sigh  Was that it was for not being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobly he yokes A smiling with a sigh, as if the sigh  Was that it was for not being such a smile;   The smile mocking the sigh that it would fly    From so divine a temple to commix     With winds that sailors rail at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like to like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like to like.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What treasures here do Mammon's sons behold! Yet know that all that which glitters is not gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26236]]></link><description><![CDATA[What treasures here do Mammon's sons behold! Yet know that all that which glitters is not gold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stay, little cheerful Robin! stay, And at my easement sing,  Though it should prove a farewell lay   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stay, little cheerful Robin! stay, And at my easement sing,  Though it should prove a farewell lay   And this our parting spring.    . . . .     Then, little Bird, this boon confer,      Come, and my requiem sing,       Nor fail to be the harbinger        Of everlasting spring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We consider this normal revenge against Israeli aggression. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28319]]></link><description><![CDATA[We consider this normal revenge against Israeli aggression.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power call achieve more by gentle means than by violence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power call achieve more by gentle means than by violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punishment is now unfashionable... because it creates moral distinctions among men, which, to the democratic mind, are odious.
