This we see in Christ when He saith: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  ... Theologia Germanica  June 21, 1998  Alas! day by day we ask that His Will may be done, and yet, when it comes to the doing, we find it so hard! We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards. How dare we call ourselves His, if we cannot shape our own wills to His?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who are so dreadfully "devoted" to their wives are so apt, from mere habit, to get devoted to other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20811]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who are so dreadfully "devoted" to their wives are so apt, from mere habit, to get devoted to other people's wives as well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18735]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62184]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some remedies are worse than the diseases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12505]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some remedies are worse than the diseases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever hath an interest in any one promise hath an interest in them all, and in the fountain-love from whence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7068]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever hath an interest in any one promise hath an interest in them all, and in the fountain-love from whence they flow. He to whom any drop of their sweetness floweth may follow it up into the spring. Were we wise, each taste of mercy would lead us to the ocean of love. Have we any hold on a promise? We may get upon it, and it will bring us to the main, Christ Himself and the Spirit, and so into the bosom of the Father. It is our folly to abide upon a little, which is given us merely to make us press for more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But in the way of bargain, mark ye me, I 'll cavil on the ninth part of a hair. -King ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55877]]></link><description><![CDATA[But in the way of bargain, mark ye me, I 'll cavil on the ninth part of a hair. -King Henry IV.
