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[Our penalty kill was as close to perfect as it could be.

Ecclesia is a Greek word with a splendid history. It was used in the old free commonwealths of Greece for the general assembly of all free citizens, by which their common life was governed. When political liberty went, the name still survived in the restricted municipal self-government which the Roman State allowed. It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations. Among the Jews who spoke Greek, this word seemed the appropriate one to describe the commonwealth of Israel as ruled by God -- the historical Theocracy. Our translation of it is "Church". That word, however, has undergone such transformations of meaning that it is often doubtful in what sense it is being used. Perhaps for ecclesia we may use the word -- simpler, more general, and certainly nearest to its original meaning -- "commonwealth".

This assumption is quite erroneous...The great masses of men, even in this inspired republic, are precisely where the mob was at the dawn of history. They are ignorant, they are dishonest, they are cowardly, they are ignoble. They know little if anything that is worth knowing, and there is not the slightest sign of a natural desire among them to increase their knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace is liberty in tranquillity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace is liberty in tranquillity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu, There's a little marble cross below the town,  There's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17751]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu, There's a little marble cross below the town,  There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,   And the yellow god forever gazes down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone else he can blame it on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27062]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone else he can blame it on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should face reality and our past mistakes in an honest, adult way.
