In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52057]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wounded heart can with difficulty be cured. [Ger., Doch ein gekranktes Herz erholt sich schwer.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19049]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wounded heart can with difficulty be cured. [Ger., Doch ein gekranktes Herz erholt sich schwer.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hold every man a debtor to his profession; from the which as men of course do seek to receive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44861]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hold every man a debtor to his profession; from the which as men of course do seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44861</guid></item></channel></rss>
