Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9855]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased, and not impaired, in value.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ridicule is the first and last argument of fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54226]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ridicule is the first and last argument of fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60388]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal likings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal likings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man over forty is a scoundrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man over forty is a scoundrel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing here is that the government will stick to its policy of no ransom payments, ...

It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46054]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worker is being treated at the hospital for non-life threatening injuries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31227]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worker is being treated at the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there is choice possible to us at any moment, as long as we live.
