But men make themselves so unworthy of it that it is only just that God should refuse to some because of the hardness of heart what He gives to others from a compassion that they do not deserve. If He had wanted to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened, He could have done so by revealing Himself to them so obviously that they could not have doubted the truth of His Being -- just as He will appear at the last day with such a clap of thunder and such an upheaval of nature that the dead will revive and the blindest will see. It is not in this way, however, that He willed to appear at His gentle coming: because so many men had made themselves unworthy of His mercy, He willed to leave them deprived of the good which they did not desire. And so it would not have been fair for Him to have appeared in an obviously divine manner, absolutely capable of convincing all men. But also it would not have been fair for Him to appear in a manner so hidden that even those who were sincerely seeking Him should not be able to recognize Him... So He has tempered His knowledge, by giving marks of Himself which were visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55444]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than I. -Much Ado about Nothing.

But the investment was so big they felt compelled to go on. Since its completion, it cost a fortune to maintain and is still in danger of collapsing.

It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no rest, but in a nook, with the Book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8099]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no rest, but in a nook, with the Book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rarity gives a charm; so early fruits and winter roses are the most prized; and coyness sets off an extravagant ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rarity gives a charm; so early fruits and winter roses are the most prized; and coyness sets off an extravagant mistress, while the door always open tempts no suitor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36595]]></link><description><![CDATA[No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent within college walls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that you see or seem, is but a dream within a dream.
