Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, and hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lots of large commercial vendors are getting into this market, and they have not shown dedication to the standards-based approach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lots of large commercial vendors are getting into this market, and they have not shown dedication to the standards-based approach or to free access to the essential technology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This many-headed monster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/429]]></link><description><![CDATA[This many-headed monster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A watched clock never tells the time ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8884]]></link><description><![CDATA[A watched clock never tells the time]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take the advice of a faithful friend, and submit thy inventions to his censure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take the advice of a faithful friend, and submit thy inventions to his censure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's funny.

He was interested only in those emotions and professions which could get themselves translated into character and action. Words have always been the bane of religion as well as its vehicle. Religious emotion has enormous motive force, but it is the easiest thing in the world for it to sizzle away in high professions and wordy prayers.

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17952]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hospitality should have no other nature than love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hospitality should have no other nature than love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bottom line is they knocked them down in the fourth quarter when they needed to.
