All the whole fallen creation, stand it never so long, must groan and travail in pain, till every contrariety to the divine will is entirely taken from every creature. Which is only saying, that all the powers and properties of nature are a misery to themselves, can only work in disquiet and wrath, till the birth of the Son of God brings them under the dominion and power of the Spirit of Love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True dignity is never gained by place, and never lost when honors are withdrawn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1324]]></link><description><![CDATA[True dignity is never gained by place, and never lost when honors are withdrawn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During his lifetime, when he was insulted or encountered offensive behavior, he did not respond with rage or violence.
