Without realizing it, he makes society rather than himself the agent of change. The power he finds in his victimization may lead him to collective action against society, but it also encourages passivity within the sphere of his personal life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ton maitre.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That falls under the confidentiality provisions of the program.

Yet there was a case, in which David found an ease, to fall into the hands of God, to scape the hands of men: When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearefull thing, to fall into the hands of the living God; but to fall out of the hands of the living God, is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get others to come into our ways of thinking, we must go over to theirs; and it is necessary ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24480]]></link><description><![CDATA[To get others to come into our ways of thinking, we must go over to theirs; and it is necessary to follow, in order to lead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inquiry committee has ripped away the curtain, and shone a harsh light into the most unsightly corners of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40208]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inquiry committee has ripped away the curtain, and shone a harsh light into the most unsightly corners of the organization,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No cause is helpless if it is just.

The purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms, wine is in order to wine: things are precious before they are contributory. It is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. To be sure, God remains the greatest good; but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46820]]></link><description><![CDATA[With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want Doug Melvin with money burning a hole in his pocket, ...

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What gained we, little moth?

Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright.
