Not fiends incarnate, but plain flesh and blood like us; quite ordinary men, decent and kindly souls enough, some of whom, no doubt, went to their homes that day from Calvary and took their children on their knees and loved them very genuinely. Only, they were a bit old fashioned in the make-up of their minds, had grown stiff and inelastic in their thinking, inhospitable to new notions -- surely a very minor sin at worst -- and some feared for their vested interests; and one, poor Pilate, had lost his temper with these impossible Jews in days gone by, and had received a curt warning from Rome that there must be no further bloodshed in Jerusalem, and here was a new trouble at the very worst of times in the whole year, with fanatics in tens of thousands come up for the Feast; and one wanted to save the world by quick-running machinery, and so put Christ into a situation where He could no longer dilly-dally but must do something vivid, dramatic, revolutionary. And the people? No need for us to bother being there at the decision between Jesus and Barabbas. We had the lined streets cheering for Him yesterday. And we have relatives to see, and messages from neighbours to deliver to their kindred. He will be all right; we needn't worry to be there. Such simple and plebian sins -- minds grown a trifle out of date, a little selfishness, some temper and its consequences, a bit of worldly wisdom, and an indifference that did nothing at all -- these brought about the shame of mankind, and the tragedy of history, and the blot upon our annals that will not rub out. And they are all of them within your heart and mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eighty percent of success is showing up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eighty percent of success is showing up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shall I not take mine ease in mine inn? -King Henry IV.

If you are determined in your purpose, if you have the will to do the Will, then with half a creed and less than half a pious ecstasy, you are at least in the line of the purpose of Jesus Christ; and as you will to do His will, may come some day to know the teaching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the stock to stabilize, investors have to get their hands on the seriousness of the regulatory issues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33124]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the stock to stabilize, investors have to get their hands on the seriousness of the regulatory issues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are more love songs than anything else.

To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29467]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of the movies brought the war into it, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41679]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of the movies brought the war into it,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41679</guid></item></channel></rss>
