Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings of Jesus or of imagining the life and character revealed in the Gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St. Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers, in whom nothing is more evident than that the good which was in them was all derived, as they always professed that it was derived, from the higher source.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals.

Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found (to my regret) that the degrees of shame and disgust which I actually feel at my own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have found (to my regret) that the degrees of shame and disgust which I actually feel at my own sins do not at all correspond to what my reason tells me about their comparative gravity. Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in angels, so it's simple. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36768]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in angels, so it's simple.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Independence now: and Independence forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Independence now: and Independence forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never bolt your door with a boiled carrot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never bolt your door with a boiled carrot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an old habit with theologians to beat the living with the bones of the dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27736]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an old habit with theologians to beat the living with the bones of the dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The challenge will be to get the big corporate customers giving them their business, but it might be difficult in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31734]]></link><description><![CDATA[The challenge will be to get the big corporate customers giving them their business, but it might be difficult in reality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hand that rules the press, the radio, the screen and the far-spread magazine, rules the country. - Memorial service ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27911]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hand that rules the press, the radio, the screen and the far-spread magazine, rules the country. - Memorial service for Justice Brandeis, December 21, 1942.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58187]]></link><description><![CDATA[People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had we not loved ourselves at all, we could never have been obliged to love anything.
