And in view of what he plainly said, is it any wonder that all who were rich and prosperous felt a horror of strange things, a swimming of their world at his teaching? Perhaps the priests and the rich men understood him better than his followers. He was dragging out all the little private reservations they had made from social service into the light of a universal religious life. He was like some terrible moral huntsman digging mankind out of the snug burrows in which they had lived hitherto. In the white blaze of this kingdom of his there was to be no property, no privilege, no pride and precedence; no motive indeed and no reward but love. Is it any wonder that men were dazzled and blinded and cried out against him? Even his disciples cried out when he would not spare them the light. Is it any wonder that the priests realized that between this man and themselves there was no choice but that he or priestcraft should perish? Is it any wonder that the Roman soldiers, confronted and amazed by something soaring over their comprehension and threatening all their disciplines, should take refuge in wild laughter, and crown him with thorns and robe him in purple and make a mock Caesar of him? For to take him seriously was to enter upon a strange and alarming life, to abandon habits, to control instincts and impulses, to essay an incredible happiness... Is it any wonder that to this day this Galilean is too much for our small hearts?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18304]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1091]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and a flatterer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1091</guid></item></channel></rss>
