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[It is best to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20792]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is best to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, that's a fluke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, that's a fluke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631  I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631  I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in and invite God and His Angels thither; and when they are there, I neglect God and His Angels for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The profoundest of all sensualities is the sense of truth and the next deepest sensual experience is the sense of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55158]]></link><description><![CDATA[The profoundest of all sensualities is the sense of truth and the next deepest sensual experience is the sense of justice]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Definition of 'Free': You pay for it whether or not you elect to receive it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28182]]></link><description><![CDATA[Definition of 'Free': You pay for it whether or not you elect to receive it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20701]]></link><description><![CDATA[A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675   It is not necessary to maintain a conversation when we are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675   It is not necessary to maintain a conversation when we are in the presence of God.
