I plucked the thorn and offered it to Thee, And for my thorn Thou gavest love and peace,  Not joy this mortal morn:  If Thou hast given much treasure for a thorn, Wilt Thou not give me for my rose increase Of gladness, and all sweets to me?

He that makes a show of religion flatters God, but all the while he acts and designs against him; whereas the profane man deals plainly, and tho' he be a monstrous and unnatural rebel, yet he is a fair and open enemy.

Nor is there any other foundation for any, nor other name by which any can be saved, but the name of Jesus. But how this foundation is presented, and how this name of Jesus is notified unto them, amongst whom there is no Gospel preached, no Church established, I am not curious in inquiring. I know that God can be as merciful as those tender Fathers present him to be; and I would be as charitable as they are. And therefore, humbly embracing that manifestation of his Son, which he hath afforded me, I leave God, to his unsearchable waies of working upon others, without further inquisition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better late than never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better late than never.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou unrelenting past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou unrelenting past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The practice of putting women on pedestals began to die out when it was discovered that they could give orders ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4037]]></link><description><![CDATA[The practice of putting women on pedestals began to die out when it was discovered that they could give orders better from there]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything you are against weakens you.

Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They had one of their low performances.
