I have never thought that the circumstance of God's having forgiven me was any reason why I should forgive myself; on the contrary, I have always judged it better to loathe myself the more, in proportion as I was assured that God was pacified towards me (Ezekiel 16:63).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they might of been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35702]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Desperation is the raw material of drastic change.

He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For my part getting up seems not so easy By half as lying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26129]]></link><description><![CDATA[For my part getting up seems not so easy By half as lying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy art thou, as if every day thou hadst picked up a horseshoe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26017]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy art thou, as if every day thou hadst picked up a horseshoe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a challenge to place a dollar value on the important work volunteers do for millions of charitable organizations ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33560]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a challenge to place a dollar value on the important work volunteers do for millions of charitable organizations and communities across the country.

And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica April 14, 1996  This was the fullness of time, when Christ Jesus did come, that the Messiah should come. It was so to the Jews, and it was so to the Gentiles too... Christ hath excommunicated no nation, no shire, no house, no man; He gives none of His ministers leave to say to any man, thou art not redeemed; He gives no wounded or afflicted conscience leave to say to itself, I am not redeemed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unity to be real must stand the severest strain without breaking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unity to be real must stand the severest strain without breaking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He warmes too neere that burnes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49418]]></link><description><![CDATA[He warmes too neere that burnes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Uncertainty and mystery are energies of life.
