It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is a scientist after all?

My gracious Master and my God,   Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad   The honours of thy name. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,   That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears,   'Tis life, and health, and peace. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,   He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean,   His blood availed for me. He speaks, and, listening to his voice,   New life the dead receive, The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,   The humble poor believe. Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,   Your loosened tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,   And leap, ye lame, for joy. Look unto him, ye nations, own   Your God, ye fallen race; Look, and be saved through faith alone,   Be justified by grace. See all your sins on Jesus laid:   The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made   For every soul of man. Awake from guilty nature's sleep,   And Christ shall give you light, Cast all your sins into the deep,   And wash you purest white. With me, your chief, ye then shall know,   Shall feel your sins forgiven; Anticipate your heaven below,   And own that love is heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is the brave man's hope, and not the coward's excuse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17723]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is the brave man's hope, and not the coward's excuse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing. -George Bernard Shaw. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16552]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing. -George Bernard Shaw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think my inside-outside game is good.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That make the meadows green; and, poured round all, Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,--  Are but the solemn ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44877]]></link><description><![CDATA[That make the meadows green; and, poured round all, Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,--  Are but the solemn decorations all   Of the great tomb of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have nothing particular to say about why we didn't prosecute.
