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[On a lone winter evening, when the frost Has wrought a silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61718]]></link><description><![CDATA[On a lone winter evening, when the frost Has wrought a silence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For man may pious texts repeat, And yet religion have no inward seat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50158]]></link><description><![CDATA[For man may pious texts repeat, And yet religion have no inward seat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowest thou not that kings have long hands? [Lat., An nescis longos regibus esse manus?] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowest thou not that kings have long hands? [Lat., An nescis longos regibus esse manus?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Style is not neutral; it gives moral directions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Style is not neutral; it gives moral directions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we drink, we get drunk.

That so great a judgment comes not upon you, when ye go hence ponder the things ye have heard, and exercise yourselves in confirming our instruction -- friend with friend, fathers with their children, masters with their slaves -- so that, when ye return hither and hear from us the same counsels, ye may not be ashamed, but rejoice and be glad in the conviction that ye have put into practice the greater part of our exhortation. Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I win the gold I might say nothing and just wander past him, hopefully with some kind of medal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29998]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I win the gold I might say nothing and just wander past him, hopefully with some kind of medal - a gold one preferably.

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item></channel></rss>
