I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men do not, in fine, admire or love the same thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44941]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men do not, in fine, admire or love the same thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm good at reading people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm good at reading people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ire of a despotic king Rides forth upon destruction's wing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51105]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ire of a despotic king Rides forth upon destruction's wing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is nothing short of a huge coup to have the president come in right before the election. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35087]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is nothing short of a huge coup to have the president come in right before the election.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only an error in judgment to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14148]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only an error in judgment to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships.

It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. -The Merchant of Venice. Act iv. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65464]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis Providence alone secures In every change both mine and yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51920]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis Providence alone secures In every change both mine and yours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person's fate is their own temper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58883]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person's fate is their own temper.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Salt, when dissolved in water, may disappear, but it does not cease to exist.

Hundreds of people could not have been so mistaken, especially when Jesus offered clear evidence of it. But it was not an earthbound body. It was something that bore a developmental relationship to an earthly human body, but it was not identical with it. There was clearly a continuity of life between the body of Jesus and the body of the resurrected Jesus, but in the process of resurrection it had undergone a very fundamental change. That, at least, seems obvious. So much for the list of dissimilarities; the body of Jesus after the resurrection had a different appearance and also a different "form". It was "like" the previous body, it had some sort of developmental relationship to it, but it was obviously not "identical" with it. Now we must consider the similarities. Strangely, they all came down to one factor, but that factor is so important that it outweighs all the dissimilarities. It is simply this: Jesus before and after the resurrection was undeniably the same person. No matter what extraordinary changes had taken place in his bodily form, all who knew him well had no doubt at all who he was. They "knew" it was the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ten thousand casks, Forever dribbling out their base contents,  Touch'd by the Midas finger of the state,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61678]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ten thousand casks, Forever dribbling out their base contents,  Touch'd by the Midas finger of the state,   Bleed gold for ministers to sport away.    Drink, and be mad then; 'tis your country bids!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tap'ring pyramid, the Egyptian's pride, And wonder of the world, whose spiky top  Has wounded the thick cloud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43035]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tap'ring pyramid, the Egyptian's pride, And wonder of the world, whose spiky top  Has wounded the thick cloud.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And the school for the day is dismissed,  The little one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5905]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And the school for the day is dismissed,  The little one gather around me,   To bid me good-night and be kissed;    On, the little white arms that encircle     My neck in their tender embrace      Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,       Shedding sunshine of love on my face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is wrong.
