Now, we cannot get over this plain fact by saying that it was a religious ceremony: that would be mere sophistry. It was an indulgence in the festivity of life; as plainly as words can describe, here was a banquet of human enjoyment. The very language of the master of the feast about men who had well drunk, tells us that there had been, not excess, of course, but happiness there, and merry-making. Neither can we explain away the lesson by saying that it is no example to us, for Christ was there to do good, and that what was safe for Him might be unsafe for us. For if His life is no pattern for us here in this case of accepting an invitation, in what can we be sure it is a pattern? Besides, He took His disciples there, and His mother was there: they were not shielded, as He was, by immaculate purity. He was there as a guest first, as Messiah only afterwards: thereby He declared the sacredness of natural enjoyments.... For Christianity does not destroy what is natural, but ennobles it. To turn water into wine, and what is common into what is holy, is indeed the glory of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945  Every contrition for sin is apt to encourage a not quite charitable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945  Every contrition for sin is apt to encourage a not quite charitable wish that other people should exhibit a similar contrition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All resources are not obvious; great managers find and develop available talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58586]]></link><description><![CDATA[All resources are not obvious; great managers find and develop available talent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The arrow will not always find the mark intended. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50330]]></link><description><![CDATA[The arrow will not always find the mark intended.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When he first ran for office, he appealed to the voters: "I never stole anything in my life.
