Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most dramatic entrance for an autograph was probably when I was in Edmonton Alberta Canada or... whatever, and she ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15295]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most dramatic entrance for an autograph was probably when I was in Edmonton Alberta Canada or... whatever, and she jumped on my back and asked for the autograph.

The fruits of the earth are the gift of God, and we pray for them as such; but yet we plant, and we sow, and we plough, for all that; and the hands which are sometimes lift up in prayer must at other times be put to the plough, or the husbandman must expect no crop. Everything must be effected in the way proper to its nature, with the concurrent influence of the divine grace, not to supersede the means, but to prosper and make them effectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am nothing and to nothing tend, On earth I nothing have and nothing claim,  Man's noblest works must ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62137]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am nothing and to nothing tend, On earth I nothing have and nothing claim,  Man's noblest works must have one common end,   And nothing crown the tablet of his name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All tuition rates are approved by the Board of Trustees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31230]]></link><description><![CDATA[All tuition rates are approved by the Board of Trustees.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[General wisdom is not a threat to the gospel, because everything good traces to God.

God is merciful and kind; he bestows truth, as well as rain and sunshine, upon the just and the unjust. Christ is the "true light that enlightens every man". This bestowal should inspire feelings of joy, not resentment, in the heart of a Christian. Aristotle said many wise things about logic, Confucius many wise things about morals. When a Christian attacks general wisdom in the name of the gospel, the natural man will attack the gospel in the name of general wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle   We may suffer the sins of our brother; we do not need to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle   We may suffer the sins of our brother; we do not need to judge. This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand.

That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then let thy love be younger than thyself, Or thy affection cannot hold the bent. -Twelfth Night.
