But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59946]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The third quarter really hurt us.

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From our experience, most of the folks that we work with are all staying here for the holidays.
