The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The aristocracy is in decline in the City, and the cloth-cap professionals are in the ascent.

And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First we form habits, then they form us.

If that is where it rests, it is an optimism which will suffer ultimate disillusionment. Romanticism will be transmuted into cynicism, as it has always been in the world's history. The faith of a Christian is something quite different from this optimism. It is trust in God, in a good God who created a good world, though the world is not now good; in a good God, powerful and good enough finally to destroy the evil that men do and redeem them of their sins. This kind of faith is not optimism. It does not, in fact, arise until optimism breaks down and men cease to trust in themselves that they are righteous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51561]]></link><description><![CDATA[God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He will therefore have to use what knowledge he can achieve, not to shape the results as the craftsman shapes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35194]]></link><description><![CDATA[He will therefore have to use what knowledge he can achieve, not to shape the results as the craftsman shapes his handiwork, but rather to cultivate a growth by providing the appropriate environment, in the manner in which the gardener does this for his plants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The disease is painless; it's the cure that hurts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20833]]></link><description><![CDATA[The disease is painless; it's the cure that hurts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statement after losing his first fight to Ken Norton, March 31, 1973: I never thought of losing, but now that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statement after losing his first fight to Ken Norton, March 31, 1973: I never thought of losing, but now that it's happened, the only thing is to do it right.
