In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never be satisfied with what you achieve, because it all pales in comparison with what you are capable of doing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never be satisfied with what you achieve, because it all pales in comparison with what you are capable of doing in the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are violets blue, For our sweetness found  Careless in the mossy shades,   Looking on the ground. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60712]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are violets blue, For our sweetness found  Careless in the mossy shades,   Looking on the ground.    Love's dropp'd eyelids and a kiss,--     Such our breath and blueness is.   - Leigh Hunt (James Henry Leigh Hunt),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are more important than tools.
