Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them.
