How would the man interpret it? Would it not mean to him, "You may go on hating. I do not mind it. You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate?" No doubt God takes what wrong there is, and what provocation there is, into the account; but the more provocation, the more excuse that can be urged for the hate, the more reason, if possible, that the hater should be delivered from the hell of his hate, that God's child should be made the loving child that He meant him to be. The man would think, not that God loved the sinner, but that He forgave the sin, which God never does. Every sin meets its due fate -- inexorable expulsion from the paradise of God's Humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealized ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65482]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealized past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The charisma, the celebrity, around John Paul was so strong that, in a way, the religious significance of the event ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38501]]></link><description><![CDATA[The charisma, the celebrity, around John Paul was so strong that, in a way, the religious significance of the event sort of fades from view.

"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with theidea of a cathedral in mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22773]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with theidea of a cathedral in mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are content, you have enough to live comfortably. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10019]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are content, you have enough to live comfortably.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a gentlemen is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58476]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a gentlemen is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As our country bled . . . its leader's wife came to this podium piously to call for a new ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32130]]></link><description><![CDATA[As our country bled . . . its leader's wife came to this podium piously to call for a new human order, this when thousands of Filipinos were political prisoners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For six years, Belgrade has been allowed to partition Kosovo at the Ibar ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28804]]></link><description><![CDATA[For six years, Belgrade has been allowed to partition Kosovo at the Ibar]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[but it is only a small snapshot of what is going on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39734]]></link><description><![CDATA[but it is only a small snapshot of what is going on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A billion here and a billion there, and soon you're talking about real money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47011]]></link><description><![CDATA[A billion here and a billion there, and soon you're talking about real money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I contend that we are both atheists.
