No, here was a sequence of great character and emancipated spirit, all attached to and explained by such a personality as the world never saw; and the central doctrine of the risen Christ squared with the rationality and the goodness of God... The wise said that God and the godlike could have no contact with suffering, but Jesus was no phantom feigning to be crucified; he truly suffered on the cross, he truly rose. Suffering is a language all can understand, and none can quite exhaust; and the suffering Christ, victorious over pain and death, meant for all who grasped his significance a new faith in God, a new freedom of mind in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Union gives strength to the humble. [Lat., Auxilia humilia firma consensus facit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Union gives strength to the humble. [Lat., Auxilia humilia firma consensus facit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh my God, you guys, I seriously do not have a speech prepared whatsoever.

But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many.
