There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A genius is one who can do anything except make a living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21219]]></link><description><![CDATA[A genius is one who can do anything except make a living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has by the law of nature a right to such a waste portion of the earth as is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has by the law of nature a right to such a waste portion of the earth as is necessary for his subsistence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God made bees, and bees made honey, God made man, and man made money,  Pride made the devil, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51922]]></link><description><![CDATA[God made bees, and bees made honey, God made man, and man made money,  Pride made the devil, and the devil made sin;   So God made a cole-pit to put the devil in.   -

We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dare to be true: nothing can need a lie; A fault which needs it most, grows two thereby. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dare to be true: nothing can need a lie; A fault which needs it most, grows two thereby.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that is in a towne in May loseth his spring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49457]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that is in a towne in May loseth his spring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One concept corrupts and confuses the others.
