In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As that the walls worn thin, permit the mind To look out through, and his Frailty find. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27519]]></link><description><![CDATA[As that the walls worn thin, permit the mind To look out through, and his Frailty find.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We started out with a 'no.'

Where it is possible that fear should exist it is well that it should exist, cause continual uneasiness, and be cast out by nothing less than love.... Until love, which is the truth towards God, is able to cast out fear, it is well that fear should hold; it is a bond, however poor, between that which is and that which creates -- a bond that must be broken, but a bond that can be broken only by the tightening of an infinitely closer bond. Verily God must be terrible to those that are far from Him: for they fear He will do -- yea, is doing -- with them what they do not, cannot desire, and can ill endure... While they are such as they are, there is much in Him that cannot but affright them: they ought, they do well, to fear Him... To remove that fear from their hearts, save by letting them know His love with its purifying fire, a love which for ages, it may be, they cannot know, would be to give them up utterly to the power of evil. Persuade men that fear is a vile thing, that it is an insult to God, that He will have none of it -- while they are yet in love with their own will, and slaves to every movement of passionate impulse -- and what will the consequence be? That they will insult God as a discarded idol, a superstition, a falsehood, as a thing under whose evil influence they have too long groaned, a thing to be cast out and spit upon. After that, how much will they learn of Him?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very room, coz she was in, Seemed warm f'om floor to ceilin'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20866]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very room, coz she was in, Seemed warm f'om floor to ceilin'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smoking kills.
