It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She swore, i' faith, 'twas strange, 'twas passing strange; 'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61990]]></link><description><![CDATA[She swore, i' faith, 'twas strange, 'twas passing strange; 'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still get 100 percent of what we were owed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40983]]></link><description><![CDATA[We still get 100 percent of what we were owed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(for which he won numerous critics' prizes and was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32621]]></link><description><![CDATA[(for which he won numerous critics' prizes and was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we have inherited from our fathers and mothers is not all that 'walks in us.'

The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only great souls know the grandeur there is in charity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only great souls know the grandeur there is in charity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is by acts and not by ideas that people live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/517]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our country is the world--our countrymen are mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our country is the world--our countrymen are mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are trying to get the other eight people also freed soon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40272]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are trying to get the other eight people also freed soon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope that Scripps wants to be here, and we hope that Scripps is successful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30910]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hope that Scripps wants to be here, and we hope that Scripps is successful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm from the city.
