There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents.

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is anything good about nobility it is that it enforces the necessity of avoiding degeneracy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44570]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is anything good about nobility it is that it enforces the necessity of avoiding degeneracy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who excuses himself accuses himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4293]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who excuses himself accuses himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The entire essence of America is the hope to first make money -- then make money with money -- then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15828]]></link><description><![CDATA[The entire essence of America is the hope to first make money -- then make money with money -- then make lots of money with lots of money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Putting off an easy thing makes it hard, and putting off a hard one makes it impossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22588]]></link><description><![CDATA[Putting off an easy thing makes it hard, and putting off a hard one makes it impossible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the nature of slavery to render its victims so abject that at last, fearing to be free, they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47184]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the nature of slavery to render its victims so abject that at last, fearing to be free, they multiply their own chains.
