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[Greatly his foes he dreads, but more his friends, He hurts me most who lavishly commends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Greatly his foes he dreads, but more his friends, He hurts me most who lavishly commends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's always a shot in the locker. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51036]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's always a shot in the locker.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the employers I talked to do not want to hire them.
