And thus we see, in the strongest and clearest light, both why and how the holy Jesus is become our great Redeemer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who is not satisfied with himself will grow; who is not sure of his own correctness will learn many things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who is not satisfied with himself will grow; who is not sure of his own correctness will learn many things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13672]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many have quarreled about religion that never practiced it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many have quarreled about religion that never practiced it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is highly significant, and indeed almost a rule, that moral courage has its source in identification through one's own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52108]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is highly significant, and indeed almost a rule, that moral courage has its source in identification through one's own sensitivity with the suffering of one's fellow human beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eve wasn't a size 6 and neither am I. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eve wasn't a size 6 and neither am I.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-respect is the root of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-respect is the root of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9379]]></link><description><![CDATA[The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Belly and the MembersThe members of the Body rebelled against the Belly, and said, Why should we be perpetually ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1574]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Belly and the MembersThe members of the Body rebelled against the Belly, and said, Why should we be perpetually engaged in administering to your wants, while you do nothing but take your rest, and enjoy yourself in luxury and self-indulgence?'

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cold case will be brought back to full light.
