The wrath of God is a figure of speech to denote God's unchanging opposition to sin; it is His righteous love operating to destroy evil. It is not evil that will have the last word, but good; not sorrow, but joy; not hate, but love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble.

What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind! The thief doth fear each bush an officer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind! The thief doth fear each bush an officer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Thomas] Carlyle believed that every man has a special duty to do in this world.

If he had been asked what especially he conceived his own duty to be, he would have said that it was to force men to realize once more that the world was actually governed by a just God; that the old familiar story, acknowledged everywhere in words on Sundays and disregarded or openly denied on week-days, was, after all, true. His writings, every one of them, ... were to this same purpose and on this same text -- that truth must be spoken and justice must be done; on any other conditions, no real commonwealth, no common welfare, is permitted or possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rose, what is become of thy delicate hue? And where is the violet's beautiful blue?  Does aught of its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rose, what is become of thy delicate hue? And where is the violet's beautiful blue?  Does aught of its sweetness the blossom beguile?   That meadow, those daisies, why do they not smile?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16257</guid></item></channel></rss>
