And we are ever saying, "That be far from Thee, Lord!" We are careful, in our unbelief, over the divine dignity, of which He is too grand to think. Better pleasing to God ... is the audacity of Job, who, rushing into His presence, and flinging the door of His presence-chamber to the wall, like a troubled -- it may be angry -- but yet faithful child, calls aloud in the ear of Him whose perfect Fatherhood he has yet to learn, "Am I a sea or a whale, that Thou settest a watch over me?"... The devotion of God to His creatures is perfect; He does not think about Himself, but about them; He wants nothing for Himself, but finds His blessedness in the outgoing of blessedness. Ah! it is a terrible -- shall it be a lonely glory, this? We will draw near with our human response, our abandonment of self in the faith of Jesus. He Lives Himself to us -- shall we not give ourselves to Him? Shall we not give ourselves to each other whom He loves?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children of men! the unseen Power, whose eye Forever doth accompany mankind,  Hath look'd on no religion scornfully  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children of men! the unseen Power, whose eye Forever doth accompany mankind,  Hath look'd on no religion scornfully   That men did ever find.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23688]]></link><description><![CDATA[People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Green, slender, leaf-clad holly boughs Were twisted gracefu' round her brows,  I took her for some Scottish Muse,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Green, slender, leaf-clad holly boughs Were twisted gracefu' round her brows,  I took her for some Scottish Muse,   By that same token,    An' come to stop those reckless vows,     Would soon be broken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All animals except man know that the ultimate point of life is to enjoy it. -Samuel Butler. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24994]]></link><description><![CDATA[All animals except man know that the ultimate point of life is to enjoy it. -Samuel Butler.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have exclusive access to Alexis as he goes through the process. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33192]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have exclusive access to Alexis as he goes through the process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cure for War?
