While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves -- blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like I said earlier, the movie is metaphorical for the world.

This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.

It involves the conceptions of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another must place the truth of the case in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman is like a tea bag, you can not tell how strong she is until you put her in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61899]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman is like a tea bag, you can not tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too much mercy... often resulted in further crimes which were fatal to innocent victims who need not have been victims ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too much mercy... often resulted in further crimes which were fatal to innocent victims who need not have been victims if justice had been put first and mercy second.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know one of the reasons God gave me kids was to test my patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66556]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know one of the reasons God gave me kids was to test my patience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We met--'twas a crowd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26808]]></link><description><![CDATA[We met--'twas a crowd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A long, long kiss, a kiss of youth, and love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23824]]></link><description><![CDATA[A long, long kiss, a kiss of youth, and love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My response to them is that?s looking backwards, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38958]]></link><description><![CDATA[My response to them is that?s looking backwards,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1197]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The easiest thing to be in the world is you.
