The Jews could only see "Old Testament" in Moses and the prophets, because they were blind. To the spiritual all Scripture is gospel, or New Testament (the Law being the schoolmaster, bringing us to Christ), but to the natural and self righteous, as we ought to know from experience and observation, all Scripture (gospels and epistles included) is Old Testament, or Covenant of Works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540   The attitude of Jesus to the Jewish law was singularly free and unembarrassed. He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great Pompey's shade complains that we are slow, And Scipio's ghost walks unavenged amongst us! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great Pompey's shade complains that we are slow, And Scipio's ghost walks unavenged amongst us!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And then a whoreson jackanapes must take me up for swearing, as if I borrowed mine oaths of him and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58475]]></link><description><![CDATA[And then a whoreson jackanapes must take me up for swearing, as if I borrowed mine oaths of him and might not spend them at my pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now we have two anniversaries, and we celebrate them both. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31176]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now we have two anniversaries, and we celebrate them both.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sylphs and ondines And the sea-kings and queens  Long ago, long ago, on the waves built a city, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60481]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sylphs and ondines And the sea-kings and queens  Long ago, long ago, on the waves built a city,   As lovely as seems    To some bard in his dreams,     The soul of his latest love-ditty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we did very well.
