Whilst men are under the power of actual impressions from such fears, they will convert to God, yea, they will turn in a moment, and perfect their holiness in an instant; but so soon as that impression wears off (as it will do on every occasion, and upon none at all) such persons are as dead and cold towards God as the lead or iron, which but now ran in a fiery stream, is now when the heat is departed from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45380]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540   Visit, I beseech thee, O Lord, this habitation with thy mercy, and me with thy grace and salvation. Let thy holy angels pitch their tents round about and dwell here, that no illusion of the night may abuse me, the spirits of darkness may not come near to hurt me, no evil or sad accident oppress me; and let the eternal Spirit of the Father dwell in my soul and body, filling every corner of my heart with light and grace. Let no deed of darkness overtake me; and let thy blessing, most blessed God, be upon me for ever, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fighting Cocks and the EagleTwo game cocks were fiercely fighting for the mastery of the farmyard.

The vanquished Cock skulked away and hid himself in a quiet corner, while the conqueror, flying up to a high wall, flapped his wings and crowed exultingly with all his might. An Eagle sailing through the air pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons. The vanquished Cock immediately came out of his corner, and ruled henceforth with undisputed mastery. Pride goes before destruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death came with friendly care;The opening bud to heaven conveyed,And bade it blossom there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death came with friendly care;The opening bud to heaven conveyed,And bade it blossom there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that makes himself a sheep, shall be eat by the wolfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that makes himself a sheep, shall be eat by the wolfe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the least possible expenditure of thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're trying to open it up more for other kids to be threats. ...

But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him.
