How would the man interpret it? Would it not mean to him, "You may go on hating. I do not mind it. You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate?" No doubt God takes what wrong there is, and what provocation there is, into the account; but the more provocation, the more excuse that can be urged for the hate, the more reason, if possible, that the hater should be delivered from the hell of his hate, that God's child should be made the loving child that He meant him to be. The man would think, not that God loved the sinner, but that He forgave the sin, which God never does. Every sin meets its due fate -- inexorable expulsion from the paradise of God's Humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest firmness is the greatest mercy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16042]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest firmness is the greatest mercy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14618]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there are people at once rich and content, be assured that they are content because they know how to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62805]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there are people at once rich and content, be assured that they are content because they know how to be so, not because they are rich.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marry, you are the wiser man; for many a man's tongue shakes out his master's undoing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marry, you are the wiser man; for many a man's tongue shakes out his master's undoing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We rate ability in men by what they finish, not by what they attempt ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19]]></link><description><![CDATA[We rate ability in men by what they finish, not by what they attempt]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know what he has to prove, ...

Standing on a projecting rock, he played several tunes in the hope that the fish, attracted by his melody, would of their own accord dance into his net, which he had placed below. At last, having long waited in vain, he laid aside his flute, and casting his net into the sea, made an excellent haul of fish. When he saw them leaping about in the net upon the rock he said: O you most perverse creatures, when I piped you would not dance, but now that I have ceased you do so merrily.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who ne'er knew salt, or heard the billows roar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who ne'er knew salt, or heard the billows roar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every quarter against West, they're going to come out ready to play.
