It is love alone in the holy Deity that will allow no peace to the wicked, nor ever cease its judgments till every sinner is forced to confess that it is good for him that he has been in trouble, and thankfully own that not the wrath but the love of God has plucked out that right eye, cut off that right band, which he ought to have done but would not do for himself and his own salvation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a new experience for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36701]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a new experience for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men,--the balance-wheel of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men,--the balance-wheel of the social machinery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How could drops of water know themselves to be a river?

To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit.
