This is, of course, why many otherwise honest intellectual people will construct a neat by-pass around the claim of Jesus to be God. Being people of insight and imagination, they know perfectly well that once to accept such a claim as fact would mean a readjustment of their own purposes and values and affections which they may have no wish to make. To call Jesus the greatest Figure in History or the finest Moral Teacher the world has ever seen commits no one to anything. But once to allow the startled mind to accept as fact that this man is really focused-God may commit anyone to anything! There is every excuse for blundering in the dark, but in the light there is no cover from reality. It is because we strongly sense this, and not merely because we feel that the evidence is ancient and scanty, that we shrink from committing ourselves to such a far-reaching belief as that Jesus Christ was really God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stolen kisses are always sweetest ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stolen kisses are always sweetest]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You wait a moment to settle your nerves Then make your cast with a right hand curve  The fly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16285]]></link><description><![CDATA[You wait a moment to settle your nerves Then make your cast with a right hand curve  The fly settles down and the float looked good   But the trout refused it and there you stood    A dejected fly fisherman.     You looked things over and were not yet beat      Then changed flies again and were ready to repeat       The next try was poor because you rushed the cast        You hold your breath in solemn anticipation         You must be a fly fisherman!          The fly floats gently on its way to the trout           You know it will "take it" without a doubt.            You're all charged up and ready to strike             But the fly floats by because something's not right              You are still a fly fisherman.               You open your fly box and select a new fly                Then lengthen the tippet before the next try                 Change your position to help with the cast                  And hope you have made the right decision at last                   Now you are a doubtful fly fisherman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One sound blow will serve to undo us all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49698]]></link><description><![CDATA[One sound blow will serve to undo us all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may see me, fat and shining, with well-cared for hide, . . . a hog from Epicurus' herd. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58498]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may see me, fat and shining, with well-cared for hide, . . . a hog from Epicurus' herd. [Lat., Me pinguem et nitidum bene curata cute vises,  . . .
