And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica April 14, 1996  This was the fullness of time, when Christ Jesus did come, that the Messiah should come. It was so to the Jews, and it was so to the Gentiles too... Christ hath excommunicated no nation, no shire, no house, no man; He gives none of His ministers leave to say to any man, thou art not redeemed; He gives no wounded or afflicted conscience leave to say to itself, I am not redeemed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any politician who starts shouting election-year demagoguery about the rich and the poor should be asked, "What about the other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54179]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any politician who starts shouting election-year demagoguery about the rich and the poor should be asked, "What about the other 90 percent of the people?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24421]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, brothers! let us leave the shame and sin Of taking vainly in a plaintive mood,  The holy name ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18326]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, brothers! let us leave the shame and sin Of taking vainly in a plaintive mood,  The holy name of Grief--holy herein,   That, by the grief of One, came all our good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2579]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The unanimous decision upholds legislation passed eight years ago by lawmakers in British Columbia that allowed the province to seek ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35507]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The unanimous decision upholds legislation passed eight years ago by lawmakers in British Columbia that allowed the province to seek restitution for health care costs related to smoking for the last 50 years and for future costs.] We are very appreciative of this opportunity to hold the tobacco industry to account for its destructive products, ...

A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once the implicit aim of biography was to uplift now it is to unveil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once the implicit aim of biography was to uplift now it is to unveil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep close to Nature\'s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66618]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep close to Nature\'s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.
