Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballad-mongers. -King Henry IV.

The Father, unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his request, hit upon this expedient to rid himself of his importunities. He expressed his willingness to accept the Lion as the suitor of his daughter on one condition: that he should allow him to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws, as his daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't have any expectations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29591]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't have any expectations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hour of justice does not strike On the dials of this world.  [Fr., L'heure de la justice ne ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58317]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hour of justice does not strike On the dials of this world.  [Fr., L'heure de la justice ne sonne pas   Aux cadrans de ce monde.]   - Maurice Maeterlinck, Measure of the Hours,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For all his learning or sophistication, man still instinctively reaches towards that force beyond.
