But men make themselves so unworthy of it that it is only just that God should refuse to some because of the hardness of heart what He gives to others from a compassion that they do not deserve. If He had wanted to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened, He could have done so by revealing Himself to them so obviously that they could not have doubted the truth of His Being -- just as He will appear at the last day with such a clap of thunder and such an upheaval of nature that the dead will revive and the blindest will see. It is not in this way, however, that He willed to appear at His gentle coming: because so many men had made themselves unworthy of His mercy, He willed to leave them deprived of the good which they did not desire. And so it would not have been fair for Him to have appeared in an obviously divine manner, absolutely capable of convincing all men. But also it would not have been fair for Him to appear in a manner so hidden that even those who were sincerely seeking Him should not be able to recognize Him... So He has tempered His knowledge, by giving marks of Himself which were visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7807</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://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://maxioms.com/maxiom/58541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces.

Every man is to work for his living. "If a man will not work, neither let him eat." But those who cannot work are to be provided for out of the common fund. Old and helpless persons who have relations of their own should, indeed, find support from them and not be forced to come upon the Church; but for the resourceless the Church must provide. And those who are rich and who earn more than enough to support their own families are to be willing contributors to the common fund. The love of money -- the desire to accumulate wealth -- is the root of every kind of evil. The relation of one to another is to be that of members in one body, in which, if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have to say I was very pleased with the way we played.
