Where it is possible that fear should exist it is well that it should exist, cause continual uneasiness, and be cast out by nothing less than love.... Until love, which is the truth towards God, is able to cast out fear, it is well that fear should hold; it is a bond, however poor, between that which is and that which creates -- a bond that must be broken, but a bond that can be broken only by the tightening of an infinitely closer bond. Verily God must be terrible to those that are far from Him: for they fear He will do -- yea, is doing -- with them what they do not, cannot desire, and can ill endure... While they are such as they are, there is much in Him that cannot but affright them: they ought, they do well, to fear Him... To remove that fear from their hearts, save by letting them know His love with its purifying fire, a love which for ages, it may be, they cannot know, would be to give them up utterly to the power of evil. Persuade men that fear is a vile thing, that it is an insult to God, that He will have none of it -- while they are yet in love with their own will, and slaves to every movement of passionate impulse -- and what will the consequence be? That they will insult God as a discarded idol, a superstition, a falsehood, as a thing under whose evil influence they have too long groaned, a thing to be cast out and spit upon. After that, how much will they learn of Him?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64618]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23770]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having good strategies in playing chess is often a good indication of being focused in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having good strategies in playing chess is often a good indication of being focused in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary, Martha & Lazarus, Companions of Our Lord   The greatest proof of Christianity for others is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary, Martha & Lazarus, Companions of Our Lord   The greatest proof of Christianity for others is not how far a man can logically analyze his reasons for believing, but how far in practice he will stake his life on his belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All lovely things will have an ending, All lovely things will fade and die; And youth, that's now so bravely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32122]]></link><description><![CDATA[All lovely things will have an ending, All lovely things will fade and die; And youth, that's now so bravely spending, Will beg a penny by and by]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is sottish ignorance and infidelity to suppose that, under the Gospel, there is no communication between God and us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7348]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is sottish ignorance and infidelity to suppose that, under the Gospel, there is no communication between God and us but what is, on His part, in laws, commands, and promises; and an ours, by obedience performed in our strength and upon our convictions unto them.

O, why dost not thou by love alone seek to achieve all these, by love alone attain another self, by love alone live in others, by love attain thy glory? The same is shriveled up and buried in a grave that does not love. But that which does love wisely and truly is the joy and end of all the world, the King of Heaven and the friend of God, the shining light and temple of eternity, the brother of Jesus Christ, and one spirit with the Holy Ghost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world.
