That God should be in a state of constant fury with the wicked seemed to them only right and proper, but that God should be kind towards those who were defying or disobeying His laws seemed to them a monstrous injustice. Yet I was but quoting the Son of God Himself, and I only comment here that the terrifying risks that God takes are part of His Nature. We do not need to explain or modify His unremitting love towards mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It just broke their backs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36077]]></link><description><![CDATA[It just broke their backs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age come on apace to ravage all the clime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age come on apace to ravage all the clime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/649]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obedience indeed is only the pitiful and cowardly egotism of him who thinks that he can do something better than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44727]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obedience indeed is only the pitiful and cowardly egotism of him who thinks that he can do something better than reason]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All language reflects the prejudices of the society in which it evolved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24048]]></link><description><![CDATA[All language reflects the prejudices of the society in which it evolved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26817]]></link><description><![CDATA[When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This issue has caused so much negative publicity.

Every sin is a sin of the indivisible human being, and the divine reaction against it expresses itself to conscience through the indivisible frame of that world, at once natural and spiritual, in which man lives. We cannot distribute evils into the two classes of physical and moral, and subsequently investigate the relation between them: if we could, it would be of no service here. What we have to understand is that when a man sins he does something in which his whole being participates, and that the reaction of God against his sin is a reaction in which he is conscious (or might be conscious) that the whole system of things is in arms against him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is the crowning glory of the virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice is the crowning glory of the virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like nobody's watching, Sing like nobody's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like nobody's watching, Sing like nobody's listening, Live like it's heaven on earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste. [Ger., Es ist nichts furchterlicher als Einbildungskraft ohne Geschmack.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20519]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste. [Ger., Es ist nichts furchterlicher als Einbildungskraft ohne Geschmack.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Technology is like a fish.
