Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness. It never seems to occur to them to look for the cause in mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played good defense (all game) and ran our offense (in the second half).

Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[deja vu all over again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33836]]></link><description><![CDATA[deja vu all over again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.

This is a prayer that may exist without ceasing, consisting, as it does, not in doing or saying this or that, but in temper and attitude of the spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6574</guid></item></channel></rss>
