That God should be in a state of constant fury with the wicked seemed to them only right and proper, but that God should be kind towards those who were defying or disobeying His laws seemed to them a monstrous injustice. Yet I was but quoting the Son of God Himself, and I only comment here that the terrifying risks that God takes are part of His Nature. We do not need to explain or modify His unremitting love towards mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity sees the need, not the cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity sees the need, not the cause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos often breeds life when order breeds habit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chaos often breeds life when order breeds habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52398</guid></item></channel></rss>
