Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now I perceive the devil understands Welsh. And 'tis no marvel he is so humorous.  By'r Lady, he is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now I perceive the devil understands Welsh. And 'tis no marvel he is so humorous.  By'r Lady, he is a good musician.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not judge the people we love ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23484]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not judge the people we love]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I don't say that we didn't expect it, but we were pleasantly surprised to see the generosity of their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35739]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I don't say that we didn't expect it, but we were pleasantly surprised to see the generosity of their foreign policy; and the generosity of their foreign policy at that moment was expressed through the Marshall Plan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63215]]></link><description><![CDATA[If only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here.
