And in view of what he plainly said, is it any wonder that all who were rich and prosperous felt a horror of strange things, a swimming of their world at his teaching? Perhaps the priests and the rich men understood him better than his followers. He was dragging out all the little private reservations they had made from social service into the light of a universal religious life. He was like some terrible moral huntsman digging mankind out of the snug burrows in which they had lived hitherto. In the white blaze of this kingdom of his there was to be no property, no privilege, no pride and precedence; no motive indeed and no reward but love. Is it any wonder that men were dazzled and blinded and cried out against him? Even his disciples cried out when he would not spare them the light. Is it any wonder that the priests realized that between this man and themselves there was no choice but that he or priestcraft should perish? Is it any wonder that the Roman soldiers, confronted and amazed by something soaring over their comprehension and threatening all their disciplines, should take refuge in wild laughter, and crown him with thorns and robe him in purple and make a mock Caesar of him? For to take him seriously was to enter upon a strange and alarming life, to abandon habits, to control instincts and impulses, to essay an incredible happiness... Is it any wonder that to this day this Galilean is too much for our small hearts?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are not forgiven for aging.

He looked through the lattice of our flesh and he spake us fair, yea, he set us on fire, and we hasten on his scent. But when he shall appear, then shall we be like him, for we shall see him as he is: as he is, Lord, will our sight be, though the time be not yet.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine June 19, 1996 Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  Many we have who plead themselves to be Christians. This might be allowed them, would they not do such things as the Christian religion abhors. But this is the least part of their claim. They will also be the only Christians, all others who differ from them -- however so falsely called -- being only a drove of unbelievers, hastening unto hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall never have it, The free German Rhine.  [Ger., Sie sollen ihn nicht haben   Den freien ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54188]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall never have it, The free German Rhine.  [Ger., Sie sollen ihn nicht haben   Den freien deutschen Rhein.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The introverted church is one which puts its own survival before its mission, its own identity above its task, its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8257]]></link><description><![CDATA[The introverted church is one which puts its own survival before its mission, its own identity above its task, its internal concerns before its apostolate, its rituals before its ministry.
