He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If criticism has made such discoveries as to necessitate the abandonment of the doctrine of plenary inspiration, it is not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6470]]></link><description><![CDATA[If criticism has made such discoveries as to necessitate the abandonment of the doctrine of plenary inspiration, it is not enough to say that we are compelled to abandon only a "particular theory of inspiration..."

What it did was to guarantee that the old morality was actually valid, and the old beliefs literally true. "Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540   The attitude of Jesus to the Jewish law was singularly free and unembarrassed. He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the mischief is done the door is shut. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50532]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the mischief is done the door is shut.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With power comes great responsibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54005]]></link><description><![CDATA[With power comes great responsibilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['T is beauty truly blent, whose red and white Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on: Lady, you are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55740]]></link><description><![CDATA['T is beauty truly blent, whose red and white Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on: Lady, you are the cruell'st she alive If you will lead these graces to the grave And leave the world no copy. -Twelfth Night.

If these are gifted with heroic qualities, to vanquish the oppressors of Israel, it is nevertheless not this heroism that forms their principal characteristic. That consists in judging. They restore... the authority of the law. For this reason, God raises up judges, not princes. The title sets forth both their work and the occasion of their appointment.
