Everywhere the man who, so far as he comprehends Jesus Christ, so far as he can get any knowledge of Him, is His servant -- the man who makes Christ a teacher of his intelligence and the guide of his soul -- the man who obeys Christ as far as he has been able to understand him... I would know any man as a Christian, would rejoice to know any man as a Christian, whom Jesus would recognize as a Christian; and Jesus Christ, I am sure, in these old days recognized His followers even if they came after Him with the blindest sight, with the most imperfect recognition and acknowledgment of what He was and of what He could do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a guilty conscience behind every brazen word and act and behind every manifestation of self-righteousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52310]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a guilty conscience behind every brazen word and act and behind every manifestation of self-righteousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul is born old but grows young.

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 hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52057]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course we do not expect to be on the pace straight away.
