First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant.

If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think anyone that played left some strokes out on the course. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30424]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think anyone that played left some strokes out on the course.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12835]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheerfulness is health; its opposite, melancholy, is disease ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheerfulness is health; its opposite, melancholy, is disease]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember you are just an extra in everyone else's play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember you are just an extra in everyone else's play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to change the world, you have to get your head together first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65222]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to change the world, you have to get your head together first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact is the ability to tell a man he has an open mind when he has a hole in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact is the ability to tell a man he has an open mind when he has a hole in his head]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drawing is the honesty of the art.
