It was that sense which, without irreverence, I have thought to find expressed by the great evangelists when they speak of the fear of God. One does not fear God because He is terrible, but because He is literally the soul of goodness and truth, because to do Him wrong is to do wrong to some mysterious part of oneself, and one does not know exactly what the consequences may be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now those memories come back to haunt meThey haunt me like a curse ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now those memories come back to haunt meThey haunt me like a curse]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At night returning, every labour sped, He sits him down, the monarch of a shed;  Smiles by his cheerful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19623]]></link><description><![CDATA[At night returning, every labour sped, He sits him down, the monarch of a shed;  Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys   His children's looks, that brighten at the blaze;    While his lov'd partner, boastful of her hoard,     Displays her cleanly platter on the board.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With various people complaining about "price gouging... economist Walter Williams has coined a new term: "Tax gouging."

But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22629]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport.

General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it.

"That must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with earthquake. When he comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity which He occupies into some inhuman shape." Instead of that, this new life into which God comes, seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together, that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His Divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hurry it up you Hoosier bastard!
