and I remember preaching a sermon on this text to a horrified and even astonished congregation who simply refused to believe (so I gathered afterwards) in this astounding liberality of God. That God should be in a state of constant fury with the wicked seemed to them only right and proper, but that God should be kind towards those who were defying or disobeying His laws seemed to them a monstrous injustice. Yet I was but quoting the Son of God Himself, and I only comment here that the terrifying risks that God takes are part of His Nature. We do not need to explain or modify His unremitting love towards mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues would be proud if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51222]]></link><description><![CDATA[The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not, and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our virtues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased.
