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, and 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/8248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think miracles exist in part as gifts and in part as clues that there is something beyond the flat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27567]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think miracles exist in part as gifts and in part as clues that there is something beyond the flat world we see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62780]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do and call it Hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Television: A medium.

Failure on this part should mean failure on the whole exam. It is absolutely disgraceful that we expect missionaries to the Bantus to learn Bantu, but never ask whether our missionaries to the Americans or English can speak American or English.

This makes them self-sufficient, morose, severe judges of all those that fall short of their mortifications. And thus their self-denials do only that for them which indulgences do for other people: they withstand and hinder the operation of God upon their souls, and instead of being really self-denials, they strengthen and keep up the kingdom of self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As vessels starting from ports thousands of miles apart pass close to each other in the naked breadth of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26810]]></link><description><![CDATA[As vessels starting from ports thousands of miles apart pass close to each other in the naked breadth of the ocean, nay, sometimes even touch in the dark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew I had to come out in the second half and help my team out.
