I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education...has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education...has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact that a player is very short of time is, to my mind, as little to be considered an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28833]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fact that a player is very short of time is, to my mind, as little to be considered an excuse as, for instance, the statement of the law-breaker that he was drunk at the time he committed the crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31769]]></link><description><![CDATA[So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24423]]></link><description><![CDATA[The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coach always preaches to us, get ahead, get ahead, make something happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coach always preaches to us, get ahead, get ahead, make something happen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you hire people that are smarter than you are, you prove you are smarter than they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15767]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you hire people that are smarter than you are, you prove you are smarter than they are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to overdo luxury ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26067]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible to overdo luxury]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's coming off the ball well, and he's always got that quick first step on you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30637]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's coming off the ball well, and he's always got that quick first step on you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nursery of brooding Pelicans, The dormitory of their dead, had vanish'd,  And all the minor spots of rock ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46010]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nursery of brooding Pelicans, The dormitory of their dead, had vanish'd,  And all the minor spots of rock and verdue,   The abodes of happy millions, were no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Society cannot contribute anything to the breeding and growing of ingenious men.

Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The typical human life seems to be quite unplanned, undirected, unlived, and unsavored.
