This we see in Christ when He saith: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  ...

We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards. How dare we call ourselves His, if we cannot shape our own wills to His?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise men are not always silent, but they know when to be ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise men are not always silent, but they know when to be]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try to give their best qualities to men -- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try to give their best qualities to men -- bring them softness, teach them how to cry. -Joan Baez.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider well what your shoulders are able to bear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider well what your shoulders are able to bear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The class of those who have the ability to think their own thoughts is separated by an unbridgeable gulf from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52020]]></link><description><![CDATA[The class of those who have the ability to think their own thoughts is separated by an unbridgeable gulf from the class of those who cannot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's essentially the entire refining capacity of Canada.
