The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Goneril:) I have been worth the whistle. (Albany:) O Goneril,  You are not worth the dust which the rude ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62337]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Goneril:) I have been worth the whistle. (Albany:) O Goneril,  You are not worth the dust which the rude wind   Blows in your face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say first, of God above or man below, What can we reason but from what we know? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Say first, of God above or man below, What can we reason but from what we know?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But surely for everything you have to love you have to pay some price. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63208]]></link><description><![CDATA[But surely for everything you have to love you have to pay some price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give thy thoughts no tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51251]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give thy thoughts no tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4425]]></link><description><![CDATA[An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities... still bears in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54846]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities... still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One very important ingredient of success is a good, wide-awake, persistent, tireless enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13863]]></link><description><![CDATA[One very important ingredient of success is a good, wide-awake, persistent, tireless enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a dangerous and idle dream to think that the state can become rule by philosophers turned kings or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47650]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a dangerous and idle dream to think that the state can become rule by philosophers turned kings or scientists turned commissars. For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't. It will be exercised by men who will be men first and rulers next and scientists and saints long after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old habits are strong and jealous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old habits are strong and jealous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Timidity is a fault for which it is dangerous to reprove persons whom we wish to correct of it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Timidity is a fault for which it is dangerous to reprove persons whom we wish to correct of it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas.
