If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's armed without that's innocent within. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20958]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's armed without that's innocent within.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mahomet was taking his afternoon nap in his Paradise.
