If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The flood of print has turned reading into a process of gulping rather than savoring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4566]]></link><description><![CDATA[The flood of print has turned reading into a process of gulping rather than savoring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Louisiana should be able to apply the word ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã…ÂadmirableÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â to her dream of a modern medical teaching facility.

If we admit that men can do very well without Christ, we accept the Saviour only as a luxury for ourselves. If they can do very well without Christ, then so could we. This is to turn our backs upon the Christ of the gospels and the Christ of Acts and to turn our faces towards law, morality, philosophy, natural religion. We look at the moral teaching of some of the heathen nations and we find it higher than we had expected... Or we look at morality in Christian lands, and we begin to wonder whether our practice is really much higher than theirs, and we say, "They are very well as they are. Leave them alone." When we so speak and think we are treating the question of the salvation of men exactly as we should have treated it had Christ never appeared in the world at all. It is an essentially pre-Christian attitude, and implies that the Son of God has not been delivered for our salvation. It suggests that the one and only way of salvation known to me is to keep the commandments. That was indeed true before the coming of the Son of God, before the Passion, before the Resurrection, before Pentecost; but after Pentecost that is no longer true. After Pentecost, the answer to any man who inquires the way of salvation is no longer "Keep the law," but "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world thinks eccentricity in great things is genius, but in small things, only crazy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13286]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world thinks eccentricity in great things is genius, but in small things, only crazy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Christian is not one who has gone all the way with Christ.

Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we become depends on what we read after all the professors have finished with us.
