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[While gripinge grefes ye hart would wounde, And dolefulle domps ye mynde oppresse,  There musicke with her silver sound, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48955]]></link><description><![CDATA[While gripinge grefes ye hart would wounde, And dolefulle domps ye mynde oppresse,  There musicke with her silver sound,   Is wont with spede to send redresse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when does flesh receive the bread which He calls His flesh?
