And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wallet of the timid man neither increases nor decreases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59372]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wallet of the timid man neither increases nor decreases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One sweetly solemn though comes to me over and over, I am nearer to home today than I have ever ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15231]]></link><description><![CDATA[One sweetly solemn though comes to me over and over, I am nearer to home today than I have ever been before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[England is a paradise for women, and hell for horses: Italy is a paradise for horses, hell for women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13908]]></link><description><![CDATA[England is a paradise for women, and hell for horses: Italy is a paradise for horses, hell for women.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is too important to be left solely to the educators. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is too important to be left solely to the educators.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The odds are that things are going to be a little stronger than people anticipate in another month or so. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38035]]></link><description><![CDATA[The odds are that things are going to be a little stronger than people anticipate in another month or so.
