But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take heed of a person marked, and a Widdow thrice married. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49774]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take heed of a person marked, and a Widdow thrice married.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Danny can't kick.

The tribe has elected you to tell its story. You are the shaman/healer, that's what the storyteller is, and I think it's important for actors to appreciate that. Too often actors think it's all about them, when in reality it's all about the audience being able to recognize themselves in you.

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns Its fragrant lamps, and turns  Into a royal court with green ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns Its fragrant lamps, and turns  Into a royal court with green festoons   The banks of dark lagoons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him laugh who wins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him laugh who wins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lady doth protest too much, me thinks ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61908]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lady doth protest too much, me thinks]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No conclusion has been reached ... there's still no word what caused this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33812]]></link><description><![CDATA[No conclusion has been reached ... there's still no word what caused this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give the historians something to write about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give the historians something to write about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue; and no genius can long or often utter anything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17314]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue; and no genius can long or often utter anything which is not invited and gladly entertained by men around him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew I could play, ...

Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44497]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gloomy comparisons of a disturbed imagination, the melancholy madness of poetry without the inspiration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58096]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gloomy comparisons of a disturbed imagination, the melancholy madness of poetry without the inspiration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It says a whole lot about his character.
