To wipe out their past sins and, at all costs, to give them a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? But He has done so, on Calvary. To forgive them? They will not be forgiven. To leave them alone?

Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things journey: sun and moon, Morning, noon, and afternoon,  Night and all her stars;   'Twixt the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48359]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things journey: sun and moon, Morning, noon, and afternoon,  Night and all her stars;   'Twixt the east and western bars    Round they journey,     Come and go!      We go with them!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here comes one with a paper: God give him grace to groan! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here comes one with a paper: God give him grace to groan!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man with the best job in the country is the vice-president.

St. John of the Cross  December 15, 2000   Two thousand years of failure have not taught some reformers that you can't stop sin by declaring it illegal. Two thousand years have not taught them that you can't save a man's soul by force -- you can only lose your own in the attempt. Drunkenness and gambling and secularism and lechery -- various hopeful churchmen have earnestly tried to outlaw them all; and what is the result? A drunken nation, a gambling nation, a secularist nation, an adulterous nation. And, often, a ruined Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were a team without a lot of respect all year.

Therefore this great work of charity must have other motives, ends, and impulsions. I give no alms to satisfy the hunger of my brother, but to fulfil and accomplish the will and command of my God; I draw not my purse for his sake that demands it, but his that enjoined it; I relieve no man upon the rhetoric of his miseries, nor to content mine own commiserating disposition, for this is still but moral charity, and an act that oweth more to passion than reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vainly the fowler's eye Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong,  As, darkly painted on the crimson ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vainly the fowler's eye Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong,  As, darkly painted on the crimson sky,   Thy figure floats along.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that asks me what heaven is, means not to hear me, but to silence me; He knows I cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8205]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that asks me what heaven is, means not to hear me, but to silence me; He knows I cannot tell him.
