Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The old -- like children -- talk to themselves, for they have reached that hopeless wisdom of experience which knows ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1794]]></link><description><![CDATA[The old -- like children -- talk to themselves, for they have reached that hopeless wisdom of experience which knows that though one were to cry it in the streets to multitudes, or whisper it in the kiss to one's beloved, the only ears that can ever hear one's secrets are one's own!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the database goes, so goes Oracle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35287]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the database goes, so goes Oracle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the stored vengeances of heaven fall On her ingrateful top! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20901]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the stored vengeances of heaven fall On her ingrateful top!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never complain.
