But men make themselves so unworthy of it that it is only just that God should refuse to some because of the hardness of heart what He gives to others from a compassion that they do not deserve. If He had wanted to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened, He could have done so by revealing Himself to them so obviously that they could not have doubted the truth of His Being -- just as He will appear at the last day with such a clap of thunder and such an upheaval of nature that the dead will revive and the blindest will see. It is not in this way, however, that He willed to appear at His gentle coming: because so many men had made themselves unworthy of His mercy, He willed to leave them deprived of the good which they did not desire. And so it would not have been fair for Him to have appeared in an obviously divine manner, absolutely capable of convincing all men. But also it would not have been fair for Him to appear in a manner so hidden that even those who were sincerely seeking Him should not be able to recognize Him... So He has tempered His knowledge, by giving marks of Himself which were visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64801]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is wrong to suppose that for Paul faith is a meritorious act on man's part, which wins salvation, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is wrong to suppose that for Paul faith is a meritorious act on man's part, which wins salvation, or even, in a more modern way of speech, a creative moral principle in itself. Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reasoning against a prejudice is like fighting against a shadow; it exhausts the reasoner, without visibly affecting the prejudice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reasoning against a prejudice is like fighting against a shadow; it exhausts the reasoner, without visibly affecting the prejudice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought we passed up a lot of good pitches to hit.
