And this is the curiosity and niceness of divine love: this is the fear of God, and is the daughter and production of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61022]]></link><description><![CDATA[All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I came down the Highgate Hill, The Highgate Hill, the Highgate Hill,  As I came down the Highgate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25449]]></link><description><![CDATA[As I came down the Highgate Hill, The Highgate Hill, the Highgate Hill,  As I came down the Highgate Hill   I met the sun's bravado,    And saw below me, fold on fold,     Grey to pearl and pearl to gold,      This London like a land of old,       The land of Eldorado.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over her hung a canopy of state, Not of rich tissue, nor of spangled gold,  But of a substance, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over her hung a canopy of state, Not of rich tissue, nor of spangled gold,  But of a substance, though not animate,   Yet of a heavenly and spiritual mould,    That only eyes of spirits might behold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is costly wisdom that is bought by experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14670]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is costly wisdom that is bought by experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60652]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You look marvelous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5289]]></link><description><![CDATA[You look marvelous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace. commerce, and honest friendship with all nations--entangling alliances with none. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57846]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace. commerce, and honest friendship with all nations--entangling alliances with none.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is just fear, plus prayers, plus understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is just fear, plus prayers, plus understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future.

When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, "What will become of Thy great name?"  5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails.  6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion.  7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Asking 'who ought to be the boss' is like asking 'who ought to be the tenor in the quartet?'
