But that would have been to Him just the one dreadful thing. That His Father should forget him! -- no power in Himself could make up for that. He feared nothing for Himself; and never once employed His divine power to save Himself from His human fate. Let God do that for Him if He saw fit. He did not come into the world to take care of Himself... His life was of no value to Him but as His Father cared for it. God would mind all that was necessary for Him, and He would mind the work His Father had given Him to do. And, my friends, this is just the one secret of a blessed life, the one thing every man comes into this world to learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8667]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601  The scandal of the Bible does not lie so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601  The scandal of the Bible does not lie so much in its claim to record the Word of God, as in its insistence that the Word of God is to be heard in a particular historical happening, in a particular locality -- and only there. To put it in a provocative manner: the Bible is theology. It is historical theology. It can reveal its meaning only to those who regard it as the Word of God, and are able to preserve a strict confidence in the universal significance of particular historical occasions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all afflictions, the worst is self-contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all afflictions, the worst is self-contempt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The second best times tend to be more difficult. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62826]]></link><description><![CDATA[The second best times tend to be more difficult.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often the cock-loft is empty, in those whom nature hath built many stories high. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often the cock-loft is empty, in those whom nature hath built many stories high.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words of love, are works of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words of love, are works of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good reputation is more valuable than money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53898]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good reputation is more valuable than money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze.

It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item></channel></rss>
