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[I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20249]]></link><description><![CDATA[I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more annoying than a low man raised to a high position. [Lat., Asperius nihil est humil cum surgit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5521]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more annoying than a low man raised to a high position. [Lat., Asperius nihil est humil cum surgit in altum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign: that all the dunces are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1083]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in confederacy against him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be ignorance thy choice, where knowledge leads to woe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be ignorance thy choice, where knowledge leads to woe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63136]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything was out of balance and part of figuring out where we are now is figuring out where we were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything was out of balance and part of figuring out where we are now is figuring out where we were and how many imbalances were built into the economy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13641]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still harping on my daughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Still harping on my daughter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main difference this year is I feel that I'm more important to the team.
