But men make themselves so unworthy of it that it is only just that God should refuse to some because of the hardness of heart what He gives to others from a compassion that they do not deserve. If He had wanted to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened, He could have done so by revealing Himself to them so obviously that they could not have doubted the truth of His Being -- just as He will appear at the last day with such a clap of thunder and such an upheaval of nature that the dead will revive and the blindest will see. It is not in this way, however, that He willed to appear at His gentle coming: because so many men had made themselves unworthy of His mercy, He willed to leave them deprived of the good which they did not desire. And so it would not have been fair for Him to have appeared in an obviously divine manner, absolutely capable of convincing all men. But also it would not have been fair for Him to appear in a manner so hidden that even those who were sincerely seeking Him should not be able to recognize Him... So He has tempered His knowledge, by giving marks of Himself which were visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last season, Huntington and Unioto were the most competitive matches we played.

Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question, "How will it all end?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "Why are we here?" and, to the question, "What moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60135]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, motionless and dark, eluded search Self-shrouded: and anon, starring the sky,  Rose like a shower of fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16033]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, motionless and dark, eluded search Self-shrouded: and anon, starring the sky,  Rose like a shower of fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They will swear black is white. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50521]]></link><description><![CDATA[They will swear black is white.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need a full accounting of the Bush administration's spending on advertising, PR, and fake news.

In the winter of 1824, there set in a great flood upon that town--the tide rose to an incredible height: the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction. In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The automobile has not merely taken over the street, it has dissolved the living tissue of the city ...

And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evil-doing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ. Now if this be true, and if sin and scandal may conceivably penetrate even the inmost circle of the chosen, how great an error it is to break, because of these offenses, the unity of the Church, and institute some new communion, purer far than the Churches of Corinth and Galatia, which were not abandoned but reformed, and more impenetrable to corruption than the little group of those who ate and drank with Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must not always judge of the generality of the opinion by the noise of the acclamation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2929]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must not always judge of the generality of the opinion by the noise of the acclamation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the law is quite stupid because nobody follows it.
