There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601  To preach the Gospel requires that the preacher should ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601  To preach the Gospel requires that the preacher should believe that he is sent to those whom he is addressing at the moment, because God has among them those whom He is at the moment calling; it requires that the speaker should expect a response.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all need a break these days.

But men make themselves so unworthy of it that it is only just that God should refuse to some because of the hardness of heart what He gives to others from a compassion that they do not deserve. If He had wanted to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened, He could have done so by revealing Himself to them so obviously that they could not have doubted the truth of His Being -- just as He will appear at the last day with such a clap of thunder and such an upheaval of nature that the dead will revive and the blindest will see. It is not in this way, however, that He willed to appear at His gentle coming: because so many men had made themselves unworthy of His mercy, He willed to leave them deprived of the good which they did not desire. And so it would not have been fair for Him to have appeared in an obviously divine manner, absolutely capable of convincing all men. But also it would not have been fair for Him to appear in a manner so hidden that even those who were sincerely seeking Him should not be able to recognize Him... So He has tempered His knowledge, by giving marks of Himself which were visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some say "to-morrow" never comes, A saying oft thought right;  But if to-morrow never came,   No end ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59439]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some say "to-morrow" never comes, A saying oft thought right;  But if to-morrow never came,   No end were of "to-night."    The fact is this, time flies so fast,     That e'er we've time to say      "To-morrow's come," presto! behold!       "To-morrow" proves "To-day."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be fond of the man who jests at his scars, if you like; but never believe he is being on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be fond of the man who jests at his scars, if you like; but never believe he is being on the level with you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17088]]></link><description><![CDATA[What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a woman an inch and she thinks she's a ruler ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a woman an inch and she thinks she's a ruler]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chalice is ephemeral.Jesus' blood eternal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44082]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chalice is ephemeral.Jesus' blood eternal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl.
