In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am convinced that the majority of people would be generous from selfish motives, if they had the opportunity. - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27726]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am convinced that the majority of people would be generous from selfish motives, if they had the opportunity. - My Summer in a Garden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man makes up his mind to thrash another, he must also make up his mind to be a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50410]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man makes up his mind to thrash another, he must also make up his mind to be a little thrashed himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons that you cannot see with the naked eye unless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13696]]></link><description><![CDATA[Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like one, that on a lonesome road Doth walk in fear and dread,  And having once turned round, walks ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15505]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like one, that on a lonesome road Doth walk in fear and dread,  And having once turned round, walks on,   And turns no more his head;    Because he knows a frightful fiend     Doth close behind him tread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mystical union, on the one hand.

The resurrection of the body, on the other. I can't reach the ghost of an image, a formula, or even a feeling, that combines them. But the reality, we are given to understand, does. Reality is the iconoclast once more. Heaven will solve our problems--but not, I think, by showing us subtle reconciliations between all our apparently contradictory notions. The notions will all be knocked from under our feet.

Here is a summary:  To set an infinite value on men's souls. To abstain from whatever deepens India's prejudice against the Gospel. To watch for every chance of doing the people good. To preach Christ crucified as the grand means of conversions. To esteem and treat Indians always as equals. To be instant in the nurture of personal religion. To cultivate the spiritual gifts of the Indian brethren, ever pressing upon them their missionary obligation, since only Indians can win India for Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy - the smile that accepts a lover before words are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3608]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy - the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother's love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Paris that brief flight allow, My humble tomb explore!  It bears: "Eternity, be thou   My refuge!" ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14085]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Paris that brief flight allow, My humble tomb explore!  It bears: "Eternity, be thou   My refuge!" and no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then read from the treasured volume  The poem of thy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then read from the treasured volume  The poem of thy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet  The beauty of thy voice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we call "progress " is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48360]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we call "progress " is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3459]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Teresa of Avila, Mystic, Teacher, 1582  The love of Jesus is at once avid and generous.
