And in view of what he plainly said, is it any wonder that all who were rich and prosperous felt a horror of strange things, a swimming of their world at his teaching? Perhaps the priests and the rich men understood him better than his followers. He was dragging out all the little private reservations they had made from social service into the light of a universal religious life. He was like some terrible moral huntsman digging mankind out of the snug burrows in which they had lived hitherto. In the white blaze of this kingdom of his there was to be no property, no privilege, no pride and precedence; no motive indeed and no reward but love. Is it any wonder that men were dazzled and blinded and cried out against him? Even his disciples cried out when he would not spare them the light. Is it any wonder that the priests realized that between this man and themselves there was no choice but that he or priestcraft should perish? Is it any wonder that the Roman soldiers, confronted and amazed by something soaring over their comprehension and threatening all their disciplines, should take refuge in wild laughter, and crown him with thorns and robe him in purple and make a mock Caesar of him? For to take him seriously was to enter upon a strange and alarming life, to abandon habits, to control instincts and impulses, to essay an incredible happiness... Is it any wonder that to this day this Galilean is too much for our small hearts?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True as the needle to the pole, Or as the dial to the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58311]]></link><description><![CDATA[True as the needle to the pole, Or as the dial to the sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some persons are likeable in spite of their unswerving integrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some persons are likeable in spite of their unswerving integrity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are raised on high that their fall may be the greater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48908]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are raised on high that their fall may be the greater.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreaming permits each and everyone of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreaming permits each and everyone of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A people without history is like the wind on the buffalo grass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51888]]></link><description><![CDATA[A people without history is like the wind on the buffalo grass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Institutions can never conserve without betraying the movements from which they proceed.

The institution is static, whereas its parent movement has been dynamic; it confines men within its limits, while the movement had liberated them from the bondage of institutions; it looks to the past, [although] the movement had pointed forward. Though in content the institution resembles the dynamic epoch whence it proceeded, in spirit it is like the [state] before the revolution. So the Christian church, after the early period, often seemed more closely related in attitude to the Jewish synagogue and the Roman state than to the age of Christ and his apostles; its creed was often more like a system of philosophy than like the living gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, "Make me feel important."
