In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes.
