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[Grief brims itself and flows away in tears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grief brims itself and flows away in tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh the nerves, the nerves; the mysteries of this machine called man!

Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are, to whom my satire seems too bold; Scarce to wise Peter complaisant enough,  And something said of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54712]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are, to whom my satire seems too bold; Scarce to wise Peter complaisant enough,  And something said of Chartres much too rough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we get rain, things could really perk up and look good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40172]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we get rain, things could really perk up and look good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16725]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems  To lie before us like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems  To lie before us like a land of dreams,   So various, so beautiful, so new,    Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,     Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just wake up and say, "You're a bum, go do something worthwhile today.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21626]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just wake up and say, "You're a bum, go do something worthwhile today.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accuse not nature, she hath done her part;Do thou but thine, and be not diffidentOf wisdom, she deserts thee not, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accuse not nature, she hath done her part;Do thou but thine, and be not diffidentOf wisdom, she deserts thee not, if thouDismiss not her, when most thou needest her nigh,By attributing overmuch to thingsLess excellent, as thou thyself perceivest. - Paradise Lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9274]]></link><description><![CDATA[For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not believe in communism any more than you do but there is nothing wrong with the Communists in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9092]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not believe in communism any more than you do but there is nothing wrong with the Communists in this country.
