The suffering God is no vast cosmic force,  That by some blind, unthinking, loveless power  Keeps stars and atoms swinging in their course,  And reckons naught of men in this grim hour.  Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want there to be no peasant in my kingdom so poor that he cannot have a chicken in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1261]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want there to be no peasant in my kingdom so poor that he cannot have a chicken in his pot every Sunday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who lead a lonely existence always have something on their minds that they are eager to talk about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14491]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who lead a lonely existence always have something on their minds that they are eager to talk about.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However boldly their warm blood was spilt, Their life was shame, their epitaph was guilt;  And this they knew ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18460]]></link><description><![CDATA[However boldly their warm blood was spilt, Their life was shame, their epitaph was guilt;  And this they knew and felt, at least the one,   The leader of the hand he had undone,--    Who, born for better things, had madly set     His life upon a cast, which linger'd yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin.

Those words have been interpreted as though they described the Law as a preparatory education, continued at a higher stage by Christ. That, however, is not quite what Paul meant. The "pedagogue" in Greek society was not a schoolmaster, he did not give lessons. He was a slave who accompanied a boy to school, and both waited upon him and exercised a supervision which interfered with the boy's freedom of action. He is, in fact, a figure in the little allegory which Paul gives us to illustrate the position of the People of God before Christ came. There was a boy left heir to a great estate. He was a minor, and so must have guardians and trustees. He was as helpless in their hands as if he had been a slave. He must live on the allowance they gave him, and follow their wishes from day to day. They gave him a "pedagogue" to keep him out of mischief. He could not please himself, or realize his own purposes and ambitions. Yet all the time he was the heir; the estate was his, and no one else's. Just so the People of God, the Divine Commonwealth, was cramped and fettered by ignorance and evil times. It remained in uneasy expectation of one day coming into active existence. At last the heir came of age: guardians and trustees abdicated their powers, and the grown man possessed in full realization all that was his. So now the fettered life of the Divine Commonwealth bursts its bonds and comes into active existence... The intervention of law was not a reversal of God's original and eternal purpose of pure love and grace towards men, it only subserved that purpose, while it seemed to contradict it, just as the presence of the "pedagogus" might seem to the high-spirited young heir quite contrary to the rights secured to him by his father's will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been campaigning against controls on the Internet in China for many years now.
