Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that humbleth himself wishes to be exalted ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61774]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that humbleth himself wishes to be exalted]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You do not reform a world by ignoring it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14608]]></link><description><![CDATA[You do not reform a world by ignoring it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To sit, happy married lovers; Phillis trifling with a plover's Egg, while Corydon uncovers with a grace the Sally Lunn, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26561]]></link><description><![CDATA[To sit, happy married lovers; Phillis trifling with a plover's Egg, while Corydon uncovers with a grace the Sally Lunn,  Or dissects the luck pheasant--that, I think, were passing pleasant   As I sit along at present, dreaming darkly of a dun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is the essence of innumerable Biographies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19319]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is the essence of innumerable Biographies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is necessary only for the good man to do nothing for evil to triumph. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14299]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is necessary only for the good man to do nothing for evil to triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it's my opinion, and that's only my opinion, you are a lunatic.
