It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish, Faustinus, a bath of boiling water to be reduced in temperature,--a bath, such as scarcely Julianus could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14068]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wish, Faustinus, a bath of boiling water to be reduced in temperature,--a bath, such as scarcely Julianus could enter,--ask the rhetorician Sabinaeus to bathe himself in it.

Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It began of nothing and in nothing it ends. [Lat., Et redit in nihilum quod fuit ante nihil.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3952]]></link><description><![CDATA[It began of nothing and in nothing it ends. [Lat., Et redit in nihilum quod fuit ante nihil.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not sure who's Beta and who's VHS yet, ...
