His agony was His entrance into the last, eternal terrors of the lost soul, into the real horrors of that dreadful, eternal death which man unredeemed must have died into when he left this world. We are therefore not to consider our Lord's death upon the Cross as only the death of that mortal body which was nailed to it, but we are to look upon Him with wounded hearts, as being fixed and fastened in the state of that twofold death, which was due to the fallen nature, out of which He could not come till He could say, "It is finished; Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46718]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are counties targeted for consolidation.

They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66898]]></link><description><![CDATA[To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pity and need Make all flesh kin.
