But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  If God said, "I forgive you," to a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  If God said, "I forgive you," to a man who hated his brother, and if (as is impossible) that voice of forgiveness should reach the man, what would it mean to him? How would the man interpret it? Would it not mean to him, "You may go on hating. I do not mind it. You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate?" No doubt God takes what wrong there is, and what provocation there is, into the account; but the more provocation, the more excuse that can be urged for the hate, the more reason, if possible, that the hater should be delivered from the hell of his hate, that God's child should be made the loving child that He meant him to be. The man would think, not that God loved the sinner, but that He forgave the sin, which God never does. Every sin meets its due fate -- inexorable expulsion from the paradise of God's Humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been said that we need just three things in life: Something to do, Something to look forward to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25973]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been said that we need just three things in life: Something to do, Something to look forward to And someone to love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love he may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/306]]></link><description><![CDATA[By accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love he may rule the world forever]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've written what and when I want to.
