Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom; Justice is what comes out of a courtroom ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom; Justice is what comes out of a courtroom]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weapons should be only the hands of the government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weapons should be only the hands of the government.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a great man who makes every man feel small.

There is actually a theory called the reinforcement thesis, which says that people acquire a mental lens or filter at a very young age.

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When most I wink, then do my eyes best see ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60841]]></link><description><![CDATA[When most I wink, then do my eyes best see]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4015]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He makes sweet music with th' enamell'd stones, Giving a gentle kiss to every sedge He overtaketh in his pilgrimage. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55334]]></link><description><![CDATA[He makes sweet music with th' enamell'd stones, Giving a gentle kiss to every sedge He overtaketh in his pilgrimage. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.
