And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless the Lord keep the city the watchman waketh in vain. [Lat., Nisi Dominus frustra.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8776]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unless the Lord keep the city the watchman waketh in vain. [Lat., Nisi Dominus frustra.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8689]]></link><description><![CDATA[The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is having lots to do and not doing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66184]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is having lots to do and not doing it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1248]]></link><description><![CDATA[At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People forget how fast you did a job-but they remember how well you didit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21925]]></link><description><![CDATA[People forget how fast you did a job-but they remember how well you didit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses, made money because they offered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52623]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses, made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently . . .
