I promise thee, Christ will not hear their excuse; for He himself suffered harm for our sakes, and for our salvation was put to extreme death. I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains."

The purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms, wine is in order to wine: things are precious before they are contributory. It is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. To be sure, God remains the greatest good; but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet I will look upon thy face again, My own romantic Bronx, and it will be  A face more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54320]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet I will look upon thy face again, My own romantic Bronx, and it will be  A face more pleasant than the face of men.   Thy waves are old companions, I shall see    A well remembered form in each old tree     And hear a voice long loved in thy wild minstrelsy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hungry man is not a free man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16700]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hungry man is not a free man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis an easy thing to find a staff to beat a dog. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51039]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis an easy thing to find a staff to beat a dog.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christianity, with its doctrine of humility, of forgiveness, of love, is incompatible with the state, with its haughtiness, its violence, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12621]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christianity, with its doctrine of humility, of forgiveness, of love, is incompatible with the state, with its haughtiness, its violence, its punishment, its wars]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about.
