We must realize that God is against us when we are sinning; yet we dare trust that His gracious love reaches to us across the chasm which separates us from Him. When we understand His loving attitude and accept His Grace, He releases His love in us. By that love we are able to begin to keep His commands for us -- to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who tells a lie is not sensible of how great a task he undertakes; for he must be forced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26153]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who tells a lie is not sensible of how great a task he undertakes; for he must be forced to invent twenty more to maintain that one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The massive gates of circumstance Are turned upon the smallest hinge,  And thus some seeming pettiest chance   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8699]]></link><description><![CDATA[The massive gates of circumstance Are turned upon the smallest hinge,  And thus some seeming pettiest chance   Oft gives our life its after-tinge.    The trifles of our daily lives,     The common things, scarce worth recall,      Whereof no visible trace survives,       These are the mainsprings after all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's really hard for us to win these matches when we surrender half a dozen points due to poor match-ups. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30960]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's really hard for us to win these matches when we surrender half a dozen points due to poor match-ups.

The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When in doubt, make a fool of yourself.
