Though there was a little superstition in this, yet truly there is nothing but good religion in it, if we apply it to men. Trample not on any; there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of. The name of God may be written upon that soul thou treadest on; it may be a soul that Christ thought so much of, as to give His precious blood for it; therefore despise it not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rashness brings success to few, misfortune to many. [Lat., Paucis temeritas est bono, multis malo.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rashness brings success to few, misfortune to many. [Lat., Paucis temeritas est bono, multis malo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pure eye for the true vision of another's claims can only go with the loving heart.

For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He does all the little things ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â taking charges, defending tough guys.
