The suffering God is no vast cosmic force,  That by some blind, unthinking, loveless power  Keeps stars and atoms swinging in their course,  And reckons naught of men in this grim hour.  Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What care if the day Be turned to gray,  What care if the night come soon!   We ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21000]]></link><description><![CDATA[What care if the day Be turned to gray,  What care if the night come soon!   We may choose the pace    Who bow for grace,     At the Inn of the Silver Moon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent contradiction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10031]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent contradiction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One should either be sad or joyful.
