You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even in the bleakest times, there are gifts to be discovered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even in the bleakest times, there are gifts to be discovered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There were about 10 points they scored in a row because we weren't where we needed to be defensively.

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[No tyrant need fear till men begin to feel confident in each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59955]]></link><description><![CDATA[No tyrant need fear till men begin to feel confident in each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing's beautiful from every point of view. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3863]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing's beautiful from every point of view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3863</guid></item></channel></rss>
