What it did was to guarantee that the old morality was actually valid, and the old beliefs literally true. "Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without thorn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without thorn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958   Thus was the Cross of Christ, in St. Paul's day, the glory of Christians; not as it signified their not being ashamed to own a master that was crucified, but as it signified their glorying in a religion which was nothing else but a doctrine of the Cross that called them to the same suffering spirit, the same sacrifice of themselves, the same renunciation of the world, the same humility and meekness, the same patient bearing of injuries, reproaches and contempts, and the same dying to all the greatness, honours, and happiness of this world, which Christ showed on the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Less judgment than wit, is more sail than ballast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Less judgment than wit, is more sail than ballast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12432]]></link><description><![CDATA[All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24752]]></link><description><![CDATA[The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mark Twain said `20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40826]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mark Twain said `20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never ask of money spent Where the spender thinks it went.
