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[We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60344]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knock unbidden once at every gate-- If sleeping, wake--if feasting, rise before  I turn away--it is the hour ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45077]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knock unbidden once at every gate-- If sleeping, wake--if feasting, rise before  I turn away--it is the hour of fate,   And they who follow me reach every state    Mortals desire, and conquer every foe     Save death, but those who doubt of hesitate,      Condemned to failure, penury and woe,       Seek me in vain and uselessly implore,        I answer not, and I return no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're getting 184 million a year, and they are only spending about 6 million a year for maintenance.

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[For rarely man escapes his destiny. [It., Che l'uomo il suo destin fugge di raro.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12060]]></link><description><![CDATA[For rarely man escapes his destiny. [It., Che l'uomo il suo destin fugge di raro.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think I have the chance to be making this team, but I think it's more of a learning ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42592]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think I have the chance to be making this team, but I think it's more of a learning experience just going in and having fun and watching the other guys, seeing what they do and just kind of get a feel for what I have to do to get to this level,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When sparrows build and the leaves break forth My old sorrow wakes and cries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57253]]></link><description><![CDATA[When sparrows build and the leaves break forth My old sorrow wakes and cries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The end must justify the means. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13787]]></link><description><![CDATA[The end must justify the means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13787</guid></item></channel></rss>
