No, here was a sequence of great character and emancipated spirit, all attached to and explained by such a personality as the world never saw; and the central doctrine of the risen Christ squared with the rationality and the goodness of God... The wise said that God and the godlike could have no contact with suffering, but Jesus was no phantom feigning to be crucified; he truly suffered on the cross, he truly rose. Suffering is a language all can understand, and none can quite exhaust; and the suffering Christ, victorious over pain and death, meant for all who grasped his significance a new faith in God, a new freedom of mind in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation rushing hastily too and fro, busily employed in idleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20354]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation rushing hastily too and fro, busily employed in idleness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15268]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your desires be endless, your cares and fears will be so too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15846]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your desires be endless, your cares and fears will be so too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65268]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The years of slavery are past, The Belgian rejoices once more;  Courage restores to him at last   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4048]]></link><description><![CDATA[The years of slavery are past, The Belgian rejoices once more;  Courage restores to him at last   The rights he held of yore.    Strong and firm his grasp will be--     Keeping the ancient flag unfurled      To fling its message on the watchful world:       For king, for right, for liberty.        [Fr., Apres des siecles d'esclavage,         Le Belge sortant du tombeau,          A reconquis par son courage,           Son nom, ses droits et son drapeau,            Et ta main souveraine et fiere,             Peuple desormais indompte,              Grava sur ta vieille banniere,               Le Roi, la loi, la liberte.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I read in Shakespeare of the majesty of the moral law, in Victor Hugo of the sacredness of childhood, in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583]]></link><description><![CDATA[I read in Shakespeare of the majesty of the moral law, in Victor Hugo of the sacredness of childhood, in Tennyson the ugliness of hypocrisy, in George Eliot the supremacy of duty, in Dickens the divinity of kindness, and in Ruskin the dignity of service. Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be charitable and indulgent to everyone but thyself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17281]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be charitable and indulgent to everyone but thyself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature abhors a moron. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature abhors a moron.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage.
