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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The better part of statesmanship might be to know clearly and precisely what not to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47598]]></link><description><![CDATA[The better part of statesmanship might be to know clearly and precisely what not to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mislike me not for my complexion, The shadow'd livery of the burnish'd sun. -The Merchant of Venice.
