Now, we cannot get over this plain fact by saying that it was a religious ceremony: that would be mere sophistry. It was an indulgence in the festivity of life; as plainly as words can describe, here was a banquet of human enjoyment. The very language of the master of the feast about men who had well drunk, tells us that there had been, not excess, of course, but happiness there, and merry-making. Neither can we explain away the lesson by saying that it is no example to us, for Christ was there to do good, and that what was safe for Him might be unsafe for us. For if His life is no pattern for us here in this case of accepting an invitation, in what can we be sure it is a pattern? Besides, He took His disciples there, and His mother was there: they were not shielded, as He was, by immaculate purity. He was there as a guest first, as Messiah only afterwards: thereby He declared the sacredness of natural enjoyments.... For Christianity does not destroy what is natural, but ennobles it. To turn water into wine, and what is common into what is holy, is indeed the glory of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And a good south wind sprung up behind, The Albatross did follow,  And every day, for food or play, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1979]]></link><description><![CDATA[And a good south wind sprung up behind, The Albatross did follow,  And every day, for food or play,   Came to the mariner's hollo!    "God save thee, ancient Mariner!     From the fiends that plague thus thee!--      Why look'st thou so?"--"With my cross-bow       I shot the Albatross."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtile; natural philosophy, deep; morals, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtile; natural philosophy, deep; morals, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dew of compassion is a tear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9171]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dew of compassion is a tear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they try to rush me, I always say, I've only got one other speed and it's slower. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they try to rush me, I always say, I've only got one other speed and it's slower.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Steal!--to be sure they may; and egad, serve your best thoughts as gypsies do stolen children, disfigure them to make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Steal!--to be sure they may; and egad, serve your best thoughts as gypsies do stolen children, disfigure them to make 'em pass for their own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of the times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19710]]></link><description><![CDATA[These were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of the times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60111]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact.

They have Christ, they have God, and they are satisfied. There can be no monotony in the contemplation and worship of the Infinite. Their great possession is unchangeable, but also inexhaustible; no change is possible where all is love and truth. The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After about 35 laps, the tires and brakes started to go.
