It was that sense which, without irreverence, I have thought to find expressed by the great evangelists when they speak of the fear of God. One does not fear God because He is terrible, but because He is literally the soul of goodness and truth, because to do Him wrong is to do wrong to some mysterious part of oneself, and one does not know exactly what the consequences may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiness of most people we know is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18688]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiness of most people we know is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've had to abandon as there has been no significant improvement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37071]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've had to abandon as there has been no significant improvement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The aqueducts are off.

But thus much may we learn from these heathens, that if the dead, and we, be not upon one floor, nor under one story, yet we are under one roof. We think not a friend lost, because he has gone into another room, nor because he has gone into another land: and into another world, no man has gone; for that Heaven, which God created, and this world, is all one world... I spend none of my faith, I exercise none of my hope, in this, that I shall have my dead raised to life again. This is the faith that sustains me, when I lose by the death of others, or when I suffer by living in misery myself: that the dead and we are now all in one Church, and at the resurrection, shall be all in one Choir.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excellence can be obtained if you:...care more than others think is wise;...risk more than others think is safe;...dream more than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Excellence can be obtained if you:...care more than others think is wise;...risk more than others think is safe;...dream more than others think is practical;...expect more than others think is possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14421</guid></item></channel></rss>
