It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important. But they lie farther along the road, secondary steps toward world reconstruction. The primary step is a holy life, transformed and radiant in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Thou wert not, Solomon! in all thy glory Array'd," the lilies cry, "in robes like ours;  How vain your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25095]]></link><description><![CDATA["Thou wert not, Solomon! in all thy glory Array'd," the lilies cry, "in robes like ours;  How vain your grandeur!

Where it is possible that fear should exist it is well that it should exist, cause continual uneasiness, and be cast out by nothing less than love.... Until love, which is the truth towards God, is able to cast out fear, it is well that fear should hold; it is a bond, however poor, between that which is and that which creates -- a bond that must be broken, but a bond that can be broken only by the tightening of an infinitely closer bond. Verily God must be terrible to those that are far from Him: for they fear He will do -- yea, is doing -- with them what they do not, cannot desire, and can ill endure... While they are such as they are, there is much in Him that cannot but affright them: they ought, they do well, to fear Him... To remove that fear from their hearts, save by letting them know His love with its purifying fire, a love which for ages, it may be, they cannot know, would be to give them up utterly to the power of evil. Persuade men that fear is a vile thing, that it is an insult to God, that He will have none of it -- while they are yet in love with their own will, and slaves to every movement of passionate impulse -- and what will the consequence be? That they will insult God as a discarded idol, a superstition, a falsehood, as a thing under whose evil influence they have too long groaned, a thing to be cast out and spit upon. After that, how much will they learn of Him?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Reverb Communications team brings the type of gaming experience we are looking for as we get ready to ship ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31454]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Reverb Communications team brings the type of gaming experience we are looking for as we get ready to ship a number of exciting console and PC titles into the marketplace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always suspected that too much knowledge is a dangerous thing.
