He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in perfect peace and amity. The Hare said, Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong. And after the Hare said this, he ran for his life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's a very solid and deep draft.

Abraham, Moses, and David were valiant believers, but compared to Jesus they were timid souls. Consider the human disappointments Jesus endured: rejected in his home town, harassed and persecuted by the religious leaders of his nation, misunderstood by his own family, betrayed with a kiss and abandoned by all his followers. Yet through it all Jesus never complained or rebelled against God; he trusted God even on the cross. Psalm 34 sets forth Jesus' pioneering discovery of God's faithfulness and delivering power. Thus Jesus was "delivered from all his fears" (v 4), "saved ... out of all his troubles" (v 6), "delivered out of all his afflictions" (v 19).  Certainly Jesus is our primary teacher and example in trusting God. If David could teach his followers to trust in God, how much more Jesus. As we see the steadfast faith of our Lord through weariness, disappointment, rejection, and even death on a cross, we cannot but be encouraged to believe that God can deliver us through our small trials. That is why we should run the race set before us looking unto Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yesterday is a cancelled check; Tomorrow is a promissory note; Today is the only cash you have, so spend it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44702]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yesterday is a cancelled check; Tomorrow is a promissory note; Today is the only cash you have, so spend it wisely. -Kim Lyons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62358]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never felt that anything really mattered by the satisfaction of knowing that you stood for the things in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never felt that anything really mattered by the satisfaction of knowing that you stood for the things in which you believed and had done the very best you could.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given a choice between two theories, take the one which is funnier. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Given a choice between two theories, take the one which is funnier.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps the purpose of categorical algebra is to show that which is trivial, is trivially trivial. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps the purpose of categorical algebra is to show that which is trivial, is trivially trivial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But conversation, choose what theme we may, And chiefly when religion leads the way,  Should flow, like waters after ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10087]]></link><description><![CDATA[But conversation, choose what theme we may, And chiefly when religion leads the way,  Should flow, like waters after summer show'rs,   Not as if raised by mere mechanic powers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are wiser than we know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26299]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are wiser than we know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would want to look at the land carefully. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39577]]></link><description><![CDATA[We would want to look at the land carefully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a man is, so he sees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44797]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a man is, so he sees.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm one of the undeserving poor . . . up ugen middle-class morality all the time . . . . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43108]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm one of the undeserving poor . . . up ugen middle-class morality all the time . . . .

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[Oh, thou hast a damnable iteration, and art indeed able to corrupt a saint.
