If I'm walking with a friend and I say something, he won't hear me, he'll say 'What?'. So I'll say it again, but once again he doesn't hear me, so he says 'What?'.

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[Honor and glory are indeed due to God and to Him alone, but He will accept neither of them if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honor and glory are indeed due to God and to Him alone, but He will accept neither of them if they be not preserved in the honey of love. Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have exceeded forecasts.

He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All-cheering Plenty, with her flowing horn, Led yellow Autumn, wreath'd with nodding corn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3552]]></link><description><![CDATA[All-cheering Plenty, with her flowing horn, Led yellow Autumn, wreath'd with nodding corn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/954]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wouldn't it be great if people could get to live suddenly as often as they die suddenly? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wouldn't it be great if people could get to live suddenly as often as they die suddenly?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the highest tribute we can pay him, our appreciation for his superlative writing, his incomparable writing.
