The figure who emerged is quite unlike the Jesus of conventional piety, and even more unlike that imagined hero whom members of various causes claim as their champion. What we are so often confronted with today is a "processed" Jesus. Every element that we feel is not consonant with our "image" of him is removed, and the result is more insipid and unsatisfying than the worst of processed food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot be healthy; you cannot be happy; you cannot be prosperous; if you have a bad disposition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3463]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot be healthy; you cannot be happy; you cannot be prosperous; if you have a bad disposition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made and forgot to put a soul into ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made and forgot to put a soul into]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ermine is going in the right direction.

In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We make allowance for necessity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48889]]></link><description><![CDATA[We make allowance for necessity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best reason I can think of for not running for President of the United States is that you have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47114]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best reason I can think of for not running for President of the United States is that you have to shave twice a day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're pleased when a test like this is able to demonstrate the efficacy of our technology. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37490]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're pleased when a test like this is able to demonstrate the efficacy of our technology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Content makes poor men rich; Discontent makes rich men poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Content makes poor men rich; Discontent makes rich men poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27404]]></link><description><![CDATA[A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It makes a great difference in our feelings towards others if their needs and their joys are on our lips ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6241]]></link><description><![CDATA[It makes a great difference in our feelings towards others if their needs and their joys are on our lips in prayer; as also it makes a vast difference in their feelings towards us if they know that we are in the habit of praying for them.
