In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more gross the fraud, the more glibly will it go down and the more greedily will it be swallowed, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10626]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more gross the fraud, the more glibly will it go down and the more greedily will it be swallowed, since folly will always find faith wherever imposters will find impudence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our duty not to squander opportunities for reconciliation, the time for reconciliation has long been here and we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36686]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our duty not to squander opportunities for reconciliation, the time for reconciliation has long been here and we have squandered it,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tush! tush! fear boys with bugs. -The Taming of the Shrew.
