What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears! What ugly sights of death within mine eyes! Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks, Ten thousand men that fishes gnawed upon, Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl, Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels, All scattered in the bottom of the sea: Some lay in dead men's skulls; and in those holes Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept, As 't were in scorn of eyes, reflecting gems. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 4.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the Old Testament, we find the idea that God enters into the sufferings of His people.

"In all their afflictions, He was afflicted." The relation of God to the woes of the world is not that of a mere spectator. The New Testament goes further, and says that God is love. But that is not love which, in the presence of acute suffering, can stand outside and aloof. The doctrine that Christ is the image of the unseen God means that God does not stand outside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The important thing in writing is the capacity to astonish.

His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is an avenue to glory, ever open for those ingenious men who are deprived of honours or of wealth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is an avenue to glory, ever open for those ingenious men who are deprived of honours or of wealth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see things; and you say: "Why?"
