But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The "art of tea" is a spiritual force for us to share ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56158]]></link><description><![CDATA[The "art of tea" is a spiritual force for us to share]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dare to be wrong and to dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52047]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dare to be wrong and to dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977  Prodigal sons, forgiven and reconciled with their heavenly Father, could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977  Prodigal sons, forgiven and reconciled with their heavenly Father, could they do other than forgive one another? A fellowship of prodigal sons came into being -- the church of Christ. Love begets love. A new power ... was let loose upon our suffering world, the power to love those who have not deserved love, the unworthy, the unlovely and unlovable, a man's enemies, and even his torturers. Christians, in imitation of the Saviour, became, as it were, Christs to one another and to the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men talk of "finding God," but no wonder it is difficult; He is hidden in that darkest hiding-place, your heart. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men talk of "finding God," but no wonder it is difficult; He is hidden in that darkest hiding-place, your heart.

Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find. I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more.

Some even wanted him to be king, a thought that GW found ludicrous: What astonishing changes a few years are capable of producing! I am told that even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror. From thinking proceeds speaking, thence to acting is often but a single step. But how irrevocable and tremendous! What a triumph for the advocates of despotism to find that we are incapable of governing ourselves, and that systems founded on the basis of equal liberty are merely ideal & fallacious!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits.
