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[Thus 'tis with all; their chief and constant care Is to seem everything but what they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus 'tis with all; their chief and constant care Is to seem everything but what they are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe; Bold I can meet--perhaps may turn his blow;  But of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe; Bold I can meet--perhaps may turn his blow;  But of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send,   Save, save, oh! save me from the candid friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whereto serves mercy But to confront the visage of offense? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whereto serves mercy But to confront the visage of offense?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If an Iraq war scenario were to unfold in the early part of the year, it would probably be welcomed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31066]]></link><description><![CDATA[If an Iraq war scenario were to unfold in the early part of the year, it would probably be welcomed by the market.

Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A human being is an ingenious assembly of portable plumbing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4449]]></link><description><![CDATA[A human being is an ingenious assembly of portable plumbing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Governments exist to protect the rights of minorities.
