Just as if He had said: "Thou hatest me, and art mine enemy, yet I love thee, and am thy friend." ... As though God in human nature were saying: "I am pure, simple goodness, and therefore I cannot will or desire or rejoice in, or do or give anything but goodness. If I am to reward thee for thy evil and wickedness, I must do it with goodness, for I am and have nothing else."   ... Theologia Germanica  June 7, 2002   Some will not believe in miracles because the laws of nature work uniformly. But their uniformity is undisturbed by human operations; the will of man wields, without cancelling, these mighty forces which surround us: and why may not the will of God do the same?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's my wee-one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36884]]></link><description><![CDATA[She's my wee-one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope that this will soon pass not only in the House but also the Senate, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35869]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope that this will soon pass not only in the House but also the Senate,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make no judgments where you have no compassion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make no judgments where you have no compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To poison a nation, poison its stories.
