I don't think of myself as a teacher so much as an impersonator of profundities, inhabiting the wisdom of texts with the naked confidence that the value of the genius I espouse transcends the particular fraud that I am the one espousing it. And it doesn't even matter to me that no one seems to be listening; those who listen that I don't know about are enough to keep me going--soaring on the wings of borrowed metaphors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bad man becomes worse when he apes a saint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51569]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bad man becomes worse when he apes a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thursday come, and the week's gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thursday come, and the week's gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and assembly.

Abraham, Moses, and David were valiant believers, but compared to Jesus they were timid souls. Consider the human disappointments Jesus endured: rejected in his home town, harassed and persecuted by the religious leaders of his nation, misunderstood by his own family, betrayed with a kiss and abandoned by all his followers. Yet through it all Jesus never complained or rebelled against God; he trusted God even on the cross. Psalm 34 sets forth Jesus' pioneering discovery of God's faithfulness and delivering power. Thus Jesus was "delivered from all his fears" (v 4), "saved ... out of all his troubles" (v 6), "delivered out of all his afflictions" (v 19).  Certainly Jesus is our primary teacher and example in trusting God. If David could teach his followers to trust in God, how much more Jesus. As we see the steadfast faith of our Lord through weariness, disappointment, rejection, and even death on a cross, we cannot but be encouraged to believe that God can deliver us through our small trials. That is why we should run the race set before us looking unto Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art my slats!
