For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He calls his wish, it comes; he sends it back, And says he called another; that arrives,  Meets the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61797]]></link><description><![CDATA[He calls his wish, it comes; he sends it back, And says he called another; that arrives,  Meets the same welcome; yet he still calls on;   Till one calls him, who varies not his call,    But holds him fast, in chains of darkness bound,     Till Nature dies, and judgment sets him free;      A freedom far less welcome than this chain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3103]]></link><description><![CDATA[The different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people regard discipline as a chore.
