The hungry sheep, that crave the living Bread. Grow few, and lean, and feeble as can be, When fed not Gospel, but philosophy; Not Love's eternal story, no, not this, But apt allusion, keen analysis. Discourse well framed -- forgot as soon as heard -- Man's thin dilution of the living Word.

first, upon the richness of the self that was given; and second, upon the depths of the giving. 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[Sweet April showers Do bring May flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet April showers Do bring May flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43735]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never weary of great churches.
