Yet this was not God's way, Who had the power,  But set it by, choosing the cross, the thorn,  The sorrowful wounds. Something there is, perhaps, That power destroys in passing, something supreme, To whose great value in the eyes of God That cross, that thorn, and those five wounds bear witness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23768]]></link><description><![CDATA[That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ablest man I ever met is the man you think you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26267]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ablest man I ever met is the man you think you are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If begging should unfortunately be thy lot, knock at the large gates only. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29552]]></link><description><![CDATA[If begging should unfortunately be thy lot, knock at the large gates only.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is only patience. [Fr., Le Genie, c'est la patience.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is only patience. [Fr., Le Genie, c'est la patience.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before; it's important ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53715]]></link><description><![CDATA[It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before; it's important to realize that whatever you're doing, it's your first attempt at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's one of the biggest problems with the system now.

Some believe the better for seeing Christ's Sepulchre, and when they have seen the Red Sea, doubt not the miracle. Now contrarily I bless myself, and am thankful that I lived not in the days of miracles, that I never saw Christ nor His Disciples; I would not have been one of those Israelites that passed the Red Sea, nor one of Christ's patients, on whom He wrought His wonders; then had my faith been thrust upon me, nor should I enjoy that greater blessing pronounced to all that believe and saw not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066 When night comes, list thy deeds; make plain the way 'Twixt heaven and thee; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066 When night comes, list thy deeds; make plain the way 'Twixt heaven and thee; block it not with delays;  But perfect all before thou sleep'st: then say:  There's one sun more strung on my Bead of days.

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[Despise the enemy strategically, but take him seriously tactically. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despise the enemy strategically, but take him seriously tactically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know any parents that look into the eyes of a newborn baby and say, How can we screw ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5977]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know any parents that look into the eyes of a newborn baby and say, How can we screw this kid up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau. -- Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics, Yale University, 1929. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau. -- Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics, Yale University, 1929.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am alarmed by reports that data brokers are obtaining and selling customers' personal telephone records without the customers' consent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38978]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am alarmed by reports that data brokers are obtaining and selling customers' personal telephone records without the customers' consent or knowledge.
