First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63585]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We clamor for equality chiefly in matters in which we ourselves cannot hope to attain excellence.

For you must be well aware that if we make an outward show of conversion to God without giving Him our hearts, it is only a shadow and pretence of virtue, and no true conversion. Any man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of other people and criticize their faults, imagining themselves to be something when in reality they are nothing. In this way they deceive themselves. Be careful to avoid this, and devote yourself inwardly to His likeness by humility, charity, and other spiritual virtues. In this way you will be truly converted to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never do but one thing at a time, and never put off till to-morrow what you can do today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never do but one thing at a time, and never put off till to-morrow what you can do today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are seeing some very strong global growth trends so that should prop up exports. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36352]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are seeing some very strong global growth trends so that should prop up exports.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is on the table, we have innumerable possibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34780]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is on the table, we have innumerable possibilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man is deceived who thinks it slavery to live under an excellent prince.
