The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mob will now and then see things in a right light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mob will now and then see things in a right light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ay, do despise me, I'm the prouder for it; I like to be despised. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ay, do despise me, I'm the prouder for it; I like to be despised.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The role of Barbara, in Music for Millions, was literally a tonic for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39357]]></link><description><![CDATA[The role of Barbara, in Music for Millions, was literally a tonic for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So I had to be careful.

"I do not envy those who have to fight the battle of Christianity in the twentieth century," wrote Marcus Dods. "Yes, perhaps I do; but it will be a stiff fight." Of course, he did, and anybody with his valiant spirit would. There was a day when our Lord passed through cheering streets wildly enthusiastic; and another day when He watched the crowds deserting Him, till even the disciples themselves seemed to be withering, and He looked at them sadly. "Will you also go away?" He said. And Peter strode across the sudden empty spaces widening around Him, and put his back to Christ's. "No", he cried; "there are two of us, at least", and faced the world, Christ's poor minority of one. I would rather have been Peter than one of the shouting mob. And today, perhaps, we may get our chance of that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They tried to make other people beat them, which we did. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28361]]></link><description><![CDATA[They tried to make other people beat them, which we did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God sends cold according to Cloathes. [God sends cold according to clothes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49275]]></link><description><![CDATA[God sends cold according to Cloathes. [God sends cold according to clothes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can man die better, Than facing fearful odds  For the ashes of this fathers   And the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50608]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can man die better, Than facing fearful odds  For the ashes of this fathers   And the temples of his gods?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hatreds are the cinders of affection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hatreds are the cinders of affection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes party loyalty asks too much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45589]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes party loyalty asks too much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[INNOVATION is the process of turning ideas into manufacturable and marketable form. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9545]]></link><description><![CDATA[INNOVATION is the process of turning ideas into manufacturable and marketable form.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27930]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen.

Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45623]]></link><description><![CDATA[I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a lot of cases, you can't make the assumption that mom and pops are going to be the problem, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38968]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a lot of cases, you can't make the assumption that mom and pops are going to be the problem, because the larger companies tend to have a lot of automation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Cat and the CockA cat caught a Cock, and pondered how he might find a reasonable excuse for eating ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1548]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Cat and the CockA cat caught a Cock, and pondered how he might find a reasonable excuse for eating him.
