Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness. It never seems to occur to them to look for the cause in mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was right to back Muhammad Ali, but it caused me major enmity in many areas of this nation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66104]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was right to back Muhammad Ali, but it caused me major enmity in many areas of this nation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I dote on his very absence, and I wish them a fair departure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/158]]></link><description><![CDATA[I dote on his very absence, and I wish them a fair departure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 & 1890  Be careful to be found a wise and faithful servant, and communicate the heavenly to your fellow servants without envy or idleness. Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See one promontory, one mountain, one sea, one river and see all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43831]]></link><description><![CDATA[See one promontory, one mountain, one sea, one river and see all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59120]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When our two lives grew like two buds that kiss At lightest thrill from the bee's swinging chime,  Because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60134]]></link><description><![CDATA[When our two lives grew like two buds that kiss At lightest thrill from the bee's swinging chime,  Because the one so near the other is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lady, you know no rules of charity, Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lady, you know no rules of charity, Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A throne is only a bench covered with velvet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66431]]></link><description><![CDATA[A throne is only a bench covered with velvet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've now got the music book ready, Do sit up and sing like a lady  A recitative from Tancredi, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3693]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've now got the music book ready, Do sit up and sing like a lady  A recitative from Tancredi,   And something from "Palpiti!"    Sing forte when first you begin it,     Piano the very next minute,      They'll cry "What expression there's in it!"       Don't sing English ballads to me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Girls are like butterflies...pretty to look at, too hard to catch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Girls are like butterflies...pretty to look at, too hard to catch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're certainly a lot deeper.
