And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22948]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be frightened now than killed hereafter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15527]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be frightened now than killed hereafter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, what may man within him hide, Though angel on the outward side! -Measure for Measure.
