You know when you need a break. You know when you need a rest. You know what to get worked up about and what to get rid of. And you know when it's time to take care of yourself, for yourself.

Take the "obvious things" about Christ as listed by a contemporary minister:  He was a popular and controversial preacher; He gathered a group of followers; He spent most of his time with the disinherited; He taught with authority; He never married; He never (so far as we know) held a job; He did not participate in public affairs; He did not have income, property, or an address; He was in bitter and frequent conflict with the religious and political authorities; He seemed to expect that the world would be eminently, radically, and supernaturally transformed; He attacked the traditions and values of his own people; He practically forced the authorities to prosecute and execute him. There is nothing exclusively religious, much less Christian, in this description, which, with a few exceptions, might apply also to Socrates or to "Che" Guevara. I asked many socially oriented ministers why they were Christians at all. Some said through faith, and some said that Christianity gave them courage and the motivation to endure (but so do other beliefs). Some said they hardly knew and that, if another, more acceptable, ideology came along, they would embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Conscience, into what abyss of fears And horrors hast thou driven me, out of which  I find no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9807]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Conscience, into what abyss of fears And horrors hast thou driven me, out of which  I find no way, from deep to deeper plunged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I keep seeing them go up, up, up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30976]]></link><description><![CDATA[I keep seeing them go up, up, up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, Grow pure by being purely shone upon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5794]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, Grow pure by being purely shone upon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom adapts itself to expediency ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom adapts itself to expediency]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You become a champion by fighting one more round.
