Yet, on the other hand, we deny, however they may be afflicted, that they ever fall and depart from that certain confidence which they have conceived in the divine mercy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The filth under the white snow, the sunne discovers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49847]]></link><description><![CDATA[The filth under the white snow, the sunne discovers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, the economy ails from important secular imbalances; there's a lot to be concerned about.

And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who would live must fight, he who will not fight in this world where eternal struggle is the law ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15658]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who would live must fight, he who will not fight in this world where eternal struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who are used to a cagewill weep for a cage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who are used to a cagewill weep for a cage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16705</guid></item></channel></rss>
