And we are ever saying, "That be far from Thee, Lord!" We are careful, in our unbelief, over the divine dignity, of which He is too grand to think. Better pleasing to God ... is the audacity of Job, who, rushing into His presence, and flinging the door of His presence-chamber to the wall, like a troubled -- it may be angry -- but yet faithful child, calls aloud in the ear of Him whose perfect Fatherhood he has yet to learn, "Am I a sea or a whale, that Thou settest a watch over me?"... The devotion of God to His creatures is perfect; He does not think about Himself, but about them; He wants nothing for Himself, but finds His blessedness in the outgoing of blessedness. Ah! it is a terrible -- shall it be a lonely glory, this? We will draw near with our human response, our abandonment of self in the faith of Jesus. He Lives Himself to us -- shall we not give ourselves to Him? Shall we not give ourselves to each other whom He loves?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest sin is sitting on your ass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20694]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest sin is sitting on your ass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hark, how chimes the passing bell! There's no music to a knell;  All the other sounds we hear,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hark, how chimes the passing bell! There's no music to a knell;  All the other sounds we hear,   Flatter, and but cheat our ear.    This doth put us still in mind     That our flesh must be resigned,      And, a general silence made,       The world be muffled in a shade.        [Orpheus' lute, as poets tell,         Was but moral of this bell,          And the captive soul was she,           Which they called Eurydice,            Rescued by our holy groan,             A loud echo to this tone.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I kissed her hard and held her tight and tried to open her lips; they were closed tight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23871]]></link><description><![CDATA[I kissed her hard and held her tight and tried to open her lips; they were closed tight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it, never in the tongue  Of him that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23243]]></link><description><![CDATA[A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it, never in the tongue  Of him that makes it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ought to give thanks for all fortune: it is is good, because it is good, if bad, because it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16564]]></link><description><![CDATA[We ought to give thanks for all fortune: it is is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[and once it leaves their hands it's someone else's problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34743]]></link><description><![CDATA[and once it leaves their hands it's someone else's problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22031]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail.
