How would the man interpret it? Would it not mean to him, "You may go on hating. I do not mind it. You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate?" No doubt God takes what wrong there is, and what provocation there is, into the account; but the more provocation, the more excuse that can be urged for the hate, the more reason, if possible, that the hater should be delivered from the hell of his hate, that God's child should be made the loving child that He meant him to be. The man would think, not that God loved the sinner, but that He forgave the sin, which God never does. Every sin meets its due fate -- inexorable expulsion from the paradise of God's Humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life's unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves. . -Hubert ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life's unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves. . -Hubert Humphrey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If ladies be but young and fair, They have the gift to know it; and in his brain, Which is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55651]]></link><description><![CDATA[If ladies be but young and fair, They have the gift to know it; and in his brain, Which is as dry as the remainder biscuit After a voyage, he hath strange places cramm'd With observation, the which he vents In mangled forms. -As You Like It.

My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item></channel></rss>
