What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great strokes make not sweete musick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great strokes make not sweete musick.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I win or I die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38012]]></link><description><![CDATA[I win or I die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1971]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From where the sun now stands I will fight no more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43746]]></link><description><![CDATA[From where the sun now stands I will fight no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and heart to this vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and heart to this vote.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21357]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I did my sculpture as a painter.
