Fear and affright! My thoughts are the disciples when they fled, My words the words that priest and soldier said, My deed the spear to desecrate the dead. And day, Thy death therein, is changed to night. Then Easter in my heart sends up the sun. My thoughts are Mary, when she turned to see, My words are Peter, answering, 'Lov'st thou me?' My deeds are all Thine own drawn close to Thee. And night and day, since thou dost rise, are one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What did he do wrong? . . .

S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof when your owndoorstep is unclean. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof when your owndoorstep is unclean.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single doctor likes a sculler plies, And all his art and all his physic tries;  But two physicians, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26680]]></link><description><![CDATA[A single doctor likes a sculler plies, And all his art and all his physic tries;  But two physicians, like a pair of oars,   Conduct you soonest to the Stygian shores.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honor lies in honest toil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19719]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honor lies in honest toil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All revolutions...have been led by persons who knew oppression well, but not on their own skin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47335]]></link><description><![CDATA[All revolutions...have been led by persons who knew oppression well, but not on their own skin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In literature, as in love, we are astonished at the choice made by other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6081]]></link><description><![CDATA[In literature, as in love, we are astonished at the choice made by other people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is a very small thing, and the night is very large and full of wonders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61960]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is a very small thing, and the night is very large and full of wonders.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14306]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more obnoxious than a low person raised to a high position. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48905]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more obnoxious than a low person raised to a high position.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One-half the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52790]]></link><description><![CDATA[One-half the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And so we stand here motionless, waiting for the bitter end of all that is beautiful in this world; hoping ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12107]]></link><description><![CDATA[And so we stand here motionless, waiting for the bitter end of all that is beautiful in this world; hoping only that the futures power will shed light on a new and wonderful destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm in.

It is certain that such people will never win the world for Christ...
