How did He manage to live without anxiety for the next day -- He who from the first instant of His public life, when He stepped forward as a teacher, knew how His life would end, that the next day was His crucifixion; knew this while the people exultantly hailed Him as King (ah, bitter knowledge to have at precisely that moment!); knew, when they were crying, Hosanna!, at His entry into Jerusalem, that they would cry, "Crucify Him!", and that it was to this end that He made His entry.

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate waiting them on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13113]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate waiting them on this earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10622]]></link><description><![CDATA[You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still, this group won the most games in a season in 23 years.
