When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We stand for negotiations and emphasize that issues of this kind cannot be referred to the UN Security Council just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35735]]></link><description><![CDATA[We stand for negotiations and emphasize that issues of this kind cannot be referred to the UN Security Council just because of imagination about (Iran's) intentions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I play [golf] with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57566]]></link><description><![CDATA[I play [golf] with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happens in China and Vietnam is not only going to affect China and Vietnam, but it will affect neighboring ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36954]]></link><description><![CDATA[What happens in China and Vietnam is not only going to affect China and Vietnam, but it will affect neighboring countries.

Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity dispenseth with decorum. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity dispenseth with decorum.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every adversity of fortune, to have been happy is the most unhappy kind of misfortune. [Lat., In omni adversitate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57238]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every adversity of fortune, to have been happy is the most unhappy kind of misfortune. [Lat., In omni adversitate fortunae, infelicissimum genus est infortunii fuisse felicem.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Generally, common sense is rare in the (higher) rank. [Lat., Rarus enim ferme sensus communis in illa  Fortuna.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Generally, common sense is rare in the (higher) rank. [Lat., Rarus enim ferme sensus communis in illa  Fortuna.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over the years, I've had hundreds of shots blocked.
