Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11540]]></link><description><![CDATA[False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man ceased to be an ape, vanquished the ape, on the day the first book was written. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man ceased to be an ape, vanquished the ape, on the day the first book was written.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Superman don't need no seat belt.

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.
