Where it is possible that fear should exist it is well that it should exist, cause continual uneasiness, and be cast out by nothing less than love.... Until love, which is the truth towards God, is able to cast out fear, it is well that fear should hold; it is a bond, however poor, between that which is and that which creates -- a bond that must be broken, but a bond that can be broken only by the tightening of an infinitely closer bond. Verily God must be terrible to those that are far from Him: for they fear He will do -- yea, is doing -- with them what they do not, cannot desire, and can ill endure... While they are such as they are, there is much in Him that cannot but affright them: they ought, they do well, to fear Him... To remove that fear from their hearts, save by letting them know His love with its purifying fire, a love which for ages, it may be, they cannot know, would be to give them up utterly to the power of evil. Persuade men that fear is a vile thing, that it is an insult to God, that He will have none of it -- while they are yet in love with their own will, and slaves to every movement of passionate impulse -- and what will the consequence be? That they will insult God as a discarded idol, a superstition, a falsehood, as a thing under whose evil influence they have too long groaned, a thing to be cast out and spit upon. After that, how much will they learn of Him?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fanaticism, the false fire of an overheated mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fanaticism, the false fire of an overheated mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head; And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in every thing. -As You Like It.

Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not Zionists but Zinnists. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4939]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not Zionists but Zinnists.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one is completely unhappy at the failure of his best friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60101]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one is completely unhappy at the failure of his best friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dream is real, my friends.

It was "sin brought death into the world and all our woe"; as the sin vanishes the woe will vanish too. God Himself is the ever-blessed God. He dwells in the light of joy as well as of purity, and instead of becoming more like Him as we become more miserable, and as all the brightness and glory of life are extinguished, we become more like God as our blessedness becomes more complete. The great Christian graces are radiant with happiness. Faith, hope, charity, there is no sadness in them; and if penitence makes the heart sad, penitence belongs to the sinner, not to the saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All will come out in the washing. [Sp., Todo saldra en al colada.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8855]]></link><description><![CDATA[All will come out in the washing. [Sp., Todo saldra en al colada.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, now lettest now thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.(2:29). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord, now lettest now thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.(2:29).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who knows himself a braggart, Let him fear this; for it will come to pass  That every braggart shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who knows himself a braggart, Let him fear this; for it will come to pass  That every braggart shall be found an ass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some report elsewhere whatever is told them; the measure of fiction always increases, and each fresh narrator adds something to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some report elsewhere whatever is told them; the measure of fiction always increases, and each fresh narrator adds something to what he has heard. [Lat., Hi narrata ferunt alio; mensuraque ficti  Crescit et auditus aliquid novus adjicit auctor.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The appeal of the rural companies is that they have a lot less competition, fewer unknowns in their business and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39047]]></link><description><![CDATA[The appeal of the rural companies is that they have a lot less competition, fewer unknowns in their business and that they have decided to opt into these high dividend strategies, ...
