It was that sense which, without irreverence, I have thought to find expressed by the great evangelists when they speak of the fear of God. One does not fear God because He is terrible, but because He is literally the soul of goodness and truth, because to do Him wrong is to do wrong to some mysterious part of oneself, and one does not know exactly what the consequences may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63197]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of them had done things that really, really stun you when you hear about them.

But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46968]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For of Fortune's sharpe adversite, The worste kynde of infortune is this,  A man to hav bent in prosperite, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57241]]></link><description><![CDATA[For of Fortune's sharpe adversite, The worste kynde of infortune is this,  A man to hav bent in prosperite,   And it remembren whan it passed is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If A equal success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58183]]></link><description><![CDATA[If A equal success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear stops a lot of people.
