The God who made giraffes, a baby's fingernails, a puppy's tail, a crooknecked squash, the bobwhite's call, and a young girl's giggle, has a sense of humor. Make no mistake about that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were in a better condition, acknowledging only a terror above them flaming on that unknown mountain height, than stooping ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8125]]></link><description><![CDATA[They were in a better condition, acknowledging only a terror above them flaming on that unknown mountain height, than stooping to worship the idol below them. 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[Mankind's struggle upwards, in which millions are trampled to death, that thousands may mount on their bodies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mankind's struggle upwards, in which millions are trampled to death, that thousands may mount on their bodies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis all one as if they should make the Standard for the measure, we call a Foot, a Chancellor's Foot; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15564]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis all one as if they should make the Standard for the measure, we call a Foot, a Chancellor's Foot; what an uncertain Measure would this be! one Chancellor has a long Foot, another a short Foot, a Third an indifferent foot.
