The figure who emerged is quite unlike the Jesus of conventional piety, and even more unlike that imagined hero whom members of various causes claim as their champion. What we are so often confronted with today is a "processed" Jesus. Every element that we feel is not consonant with our "image" of him is removed, and the result is more insipid and unsatisfying than the worst of processed food.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indu'd With sanctity of reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53101]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indu'd With sanctity of reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To change one's life: 1.

That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You ask me for a name to pull out the hat to replace Gibbs if he gets seriously injured tomorrow. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42695]]></link><description><![CDATA[You ask me for a name to pull out the hat to replace Gibbs if he gets seriously injured tomorrow.

Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44654]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wonder why he shot me? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24131]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wonder why he shot me?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I never have seen, and never shall see, that the cessation of the evidence of existence is necessarily evidence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20607]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I never have seen, and never shall see, that the cessation of the evidence of existence is necessarily evidence of the cessation of existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61164]]></link><description><![CDATA[In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through tattered clothes small vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through tattered clothes small vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12472]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11580]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books support us in our solitude and keep us from being a burden to ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books support us in our solitude and keep us from being a burden to ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a writer and always was; being a writer is an integral part of my identity.

I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them the revelation of God to men was made, or appeared to be made, less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6996</guid></item></channel></rss>
