God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no truth sure enough to justify persecution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57032]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no truth sure enough to justify persecution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47075]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now it's time to expand beyond the operational people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now it's time to expand beyond the operational people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's interesting because it's unusual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35919]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's interesting because it's unusual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't say what God is, but a name That somehow answers us when we are driven To feel and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17704]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't say what God is, but a name That somehow answers us when we are driven To feel and think how little we have to do With what we are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man's mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52596]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man's mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. -Ferdinand Foch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22804]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. -Ferdinand Foch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Off-the-rack solutions, like bargain basement dresses, never fit anymore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Off-the-rack solutions, like bargain basement dresses, never fit anymore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simple is the language of truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simple is the language of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sense of the value of time--that is, of the best way to divide one's time into one's various activities--is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13620]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sense of the value of time--that is, of the best way to divide one's time into one's various activities--is an essential preliminary to efficient work; it is the only method of avoiding hurry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient; that we are only 6 percent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16452]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient; that we are only 6 percent of the world's population; that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind; that we cannot right every wrong or reverse every adversity; and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Roger Youderian, Ed McCully, and Pete Fleming, martyrs, Equador, 1956  Oh, the fullness, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7681]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Roger Youderian, Ed McCully, and Pete Fleming, martyrs, Equador, 1956  Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on Earth!
