First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be killed than frightened to death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10521]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be killed than frightened to death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis sweet to listen as the night winds creep From leaf to leaf; 'tis sweet to view on high  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52944]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis sweet to listen as the night winds creep From leaf to leaf; 'tis sweet to view on high  The rainbow, based on ocean, span the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not on one strand are all life's jewels strung. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not on one strand are all life's jewels strung.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A witty woman is a treasure; a witty beauty is a power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65625]]></link><description><![CDATA[A witty woman is a treasure; a witty beauty is a power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you label me you negate me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you label me you negate me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some things are of that nature as to make One's fancy chuckle, while his heart doth ache. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9936]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some things are of that nature as to make One's fancy chuckle, while his heart doth ache.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63272]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear has many eyes. [Sp., El miedo tiene muchos ojos.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear has many eyes. [Sp., El miedo tiene muchos ojos.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54234</guid></item></channel></rss>
