Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It’s a sorry statement about how broken Washington is that we could not take advantage of this unique and sad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55094]]></link><description><![CDATA[It’s a sorry statement about how broken Washington is that we could not take advantage of this unique and sad moment in history and enact serious lobbying reform.

It is certainly important to have an intellectual grasp of the orb of Christian truth; but it is still more important to have a vital, living experience of the power of Jesus Christ. When a man undergoes treatment from a doctor, he does not need to know the way in which the drug works on his body in order to be cured. There is a sense in which Christianity is like that. At the heart of Christianity there is a mystery, but it is not the mystery of intellectual appreciation; it the mystery of redemption.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The men with the muck-rake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The men with the muck-rake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck.   - Theodore Roosevelt,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us!  It wad frae monie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2808]]></link><description><![CDATA[O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us!  It wad frae monie a blunder free us.   And foolish notion;    What airs in dress and gait wad lea'e us,     And ev'n devotion!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is the music of the soul, and, above all, of great and feeling souls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is the music of the soul, and, above all, of great and feeling souls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All flesh is not venison. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49101]]></link><description><![CDATA[All flesh is not venison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good beginning makes a good end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3978]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good beginning makes a good end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever there is a conflict between human rights and property rights, human rights must prevail ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever there is a conflict between human rights and property rights, human rights must prevail]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today is a... digital incarnation of Oz - the Internet - we are a motley group of fools from lions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today is a... digital incarnation of Oz - the Internet - we are a motley group of fools from lions to scarecrows, learning from each other, making and taking responsibility for our decisions, and having fun as we skip down the yellow brick road of investing together!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gov.

The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross. As we have seen, only as the circle of the love of Jesus becomes world wide and as big as history will it be complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vain?

You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old as I am, for ladies' love unfit, The power of beauty I remember yet,  Which once inflam'd my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old as I am, for ladies' love unfit, The power of beauty I remember yet,  Which once inflam'd my soul, and still inspires my wit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little rain will fill The lily's cup which hardly moists the field. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52930]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little rain will fill The lily's cup which hardly moists the field.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fine woman shows her charms to most advantage when she seems most to conceal them.
