With the exception of the book of Daniel, which the Jews themselves never classed among the prophecies, and an obscure text of Jeremiah, there is not a passage in all the Old Testament which favours the notion of a temporal Messiah. What moral object was there, for which such a Messiah should come? What could he have been but a sort of virtuous Napoleon?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44994]]></link><description><![CDATA[One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Murals were very popular then and the idea was pretty well received. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Murals were very popular then and the idea was pretty well received.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day and comes safe home, Will stand a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55965]]></link><description><![CDATA[This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. -King Henry V.

"Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the immediate postwar years, the whole of Europe was in a recession.
