But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2799]]></link><description><![CDATA[A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sat me down to watch upon a bank With ivy canopied and interwove  With flaunting honeysuckle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19691]]></link><description><![CDATA[I sat me down to watch upon a bank With ivy canopied and interwove  With flaunting honeysuckle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They can always come in.

Its complete bondage to nature has enclosed the mind and spirit of man in a fast prison out of which, try as he may, he can find no way of escape. The inability to perceive any longer the reality of things invisible and unseen is a sickness of the soul which cries out to be cured. The only way to dispel the darkness of the present age and liberate it from the prison within which it has become bound is to restore the proper relationship of nature to supernature and of time to eternity as an essential feature of external reality. Until this can be accomplished, there is really very little that the Church or Christianity in general has to offer to this age.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the traveler who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse's neck, and trusts to the instinct ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22819]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the traveler who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse's neck, and trusts to the instinct of the animal to find his road, so must we do with the divine animal who carries us through this world]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These gems have life in them: their colors speak, Say what words fail of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23259]]></link><description><![CDATA[These gems have life in them: their colors speak, Say what words fail of.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The past cannot be changed.
