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[If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9723]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever I can say or do. I'm sure not much avails;  I shall still Vicar be of Bray,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54452]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever I can say or do. I'm sure not much avails;  I shall still Vicar be of Bray,   Whichever side prevails.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free,  We thank with brief thanksgiving   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58993]]></link><description><![CDATA[From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free,  We thank with brief thanksgiving   Whatever gods may be    That no life lives forever;     That dead men rise up never;      That even the weariest river       Winds somewhere safe to sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no respect for others without humility in one's self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66569]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no respect for others without humility in one's self.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am more spontaneous than my character... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35785]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am more spontaneous than my character...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to learn to survive a defeat.
