'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. -The Merchant of Venice. Act iv. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In confession... we open our lives to healing, reconciling, restoring, uplifting grace of Him who loves us in spite of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9651]]></link><description><![CDATA[In confession... we open our lives to healing, reconciling, restoring, uplifting grace of Him who loves us in spite of what we are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24780]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all ready to be savage in some cause.
