Only he who lives by the forgiveness of his sin in Jesus Christ will rightly think little of himself. He will know that his own wisdom reached the end of its tether when Jesus forgave him. He will know that it is good for his own will to be broken in the encounter with his neighbor...   But not only my neighbor's will, but also his honor is more important than mine. The desire for one's own honor hinders faith. One who seeks his own honor is no longer seeking God and his neighbor. What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even worse punishment from God, if He had not dealt with me according to His mercy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They [the English] amuse themselves sadly as in the custom of their country. [Fr., Ils s'amusaient tristement selon la contume ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13923]]></link><description><![CDATA[They [the English] amuse themselves sadly as in the custom of their country. [Fr., Ils s'amusaient tristement selon la contume de leur pays.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She is a wall of brass; You shall not pass!

I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace; Forgive me all my worrying, and make my grumbling cease.
