Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[John Barleycorn was a hero bold, Of noble enterprise,  For if you do but taste his blood,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61672]]></link><description><![CDATA[John Barleycorn was a hero bold, Of noble enterprise,  For if you do but taste his blood,   'Twill make your courage rise,    Twill make a man forget his wo;     'Twill heighten all his joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate the subject matters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[College is the best time of your life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8950]]></link><description><![CDATA[College is the best time of your life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who works his land will have abundant food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4174]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who works his land will have abundant food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not a tenth of us who are in business are doing as well as we could if we merely followed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not a tenth of us who are in business are doing as well as we could if we merely followed the principles that were known to our grandfathers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look upon life as a gift from God.
