First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not to be argued that the abuse of a thing proves that it is useless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50554]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not to be argued that the abuse of a thing proves that it is useless.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's music in the sighing of a reed; There's music in the gushing of a rill;  There's music in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43444]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's music in the sighing of a reed; There's music in the gushing of a rill;  There's music in all things, if men had ears:   Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On a single winged word hath hung the destiny of nations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21725]]></link><description><![CDATA[On a single winged word hath hung the destiny of nations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man must realize his own unimportance before he can appreciate his importance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man must realize his own unimportance before he can appreciate his importance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come up here to get away from the sun, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34210]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come up here to get away from the sun,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[White swan of cities, slumbering in thy nest So wonderfully built among the reeds  Of the lagoon, that fences ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60480]]></link><description><![CDATA[White swan of cities, slumbering in thy nest So wonderfully built among the reeds  Of the lagoon, that fences thee and feeds,   As sayeth thy old historian and thy guest!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326  We cannot understand the depth of the Christian doctrine of sin if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326  We cannot understand the depth of the Christian doctrine of sin if we give it only a moral connotation. To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women's virtue is man's greatest invention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women's virtue is man's greatest invention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth...

We proceeded to live these propositions, though we would not have stated them as blandly as I set them forth here:   Man is inherently good.  Individual man can carve out his own salvation with the help of education and society through progressively better government.  Reality and values worth searching for lie in the material world that science is steadily teaching us to analyze, catalogue, and measure. While we do not deny the existence of inner values, we relegate them to second place.  The purpose of life is happiness, [which] we define in terms of enjoyable activity, friends, and the accumulation of material objects.  The pain and evil of life -- such as ignorance, poverty, selfishness, hatred, greed, lust for power -- are caused by factors in the external world; therefore, the cure lies in the reforming of human institutions and the bettering of environmental conditions.  As science and technology remove poverty and lift from us the burden of physical existence, we shall automatically become finer persons, seeing for ourselves the value of living the Golden Rule.  In time, the rest of the world will appreciate the demonstration that the American way of life is best. They will then seek for themselves the good life of freedom and prosperity. This will be the greatest impetus toward an end of global conflict.  The way to get along with people is to beware of religious dictums and dogma. The ideal is to be a nice person and to live by the Creed of Tolerance. Thus we offend few people. We live and let live. This is the American Way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If she's playing like she was today, she can be a one man team.
