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[She'd have you spew up what you've drunk when you were out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27270]]></link><description><![CDATA[She'd have you spew up what you've drunk when you were out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip? Some bloody passion shakes your very frame.  These are portents; but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip? Some bloody passion shakes your very frame.  These are portents; but yet I hope, I hope,   They do not point on me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no point in staying around when you can get a bike ride in at the rink.

We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken.
