Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hypocrisy is the lubricant of society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hypocrisy is the lubricant of society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In time of war the first casualty is truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27850]]></link><description><![CDATA[In time of war the first casualty is truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been talking for a while about bringing this type of content to Newport for a while and finally we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42557]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been talking for a while about bringing this type of content to Newport for a while and finally we decided to go ahead and do it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now I will show myself To have more of the serpent than the dove;  That is--more knave than fool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now I will show myself To have more of the serpent than the dove;  That is--more knave than fool.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is the physician of each misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is the physician of each misery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither bribe nor loose thy right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49639]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither bribe nor loose thy right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Priests are no more necessary to religion than politicians to patriotism ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Priests are no more necessary to religion than politicians to patriotism]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16054]]></link><description><![CDATA[And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He never saw me play ball in high school.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. -Buddha.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, it's a good bird. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, it's a good bird.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61892]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45192]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My lovely living Boy, My hope, my hap, my Love, my life, my joy.   - Guillaume de Salluste ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5906]]></link><description><![CDATA[My lovely living Boy, My hope, my hap, my Love, my life, my joy.   - Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17396]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass, the Fox, and the LionThe ass and the fox, having entered into partnership together fortheir mutual protection, went ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1606]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ass, the Fox, and the LionThe ass and the fox, having entered into partnership together fortheir mutual protection, went out into the forest to hunt.
