They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To exclude from positions of trust and command all those below the age of 44 would have kept Jefferson from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1880]]></link><description><![CDATA[To exclude from positions of trust and command all those below the age of 44 would have kept Jefferson from writing the Declaration of Independence, Washington from commanding the Continental Army, Madison from fathering the Constitution, Hamilton from serving as secretary of the treasury, Clay from being elected speaker of the House and Christopher Columbus from discovering America.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve, And press with vigour on;  A heavenly race demands thy zeal,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62623]]></link><description><![CDATA[Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve, And press with vigour on;  A heavenly race demands thy zeal,   And an immortal crown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, a little more tepid than what markets were expecting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously, a little more tepid than what markets were expecting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Public safety personnel will investigate door alarms and will respond to the building as needed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Public safety personnel will investigate door alarms and will respond to the building as needed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Duty cannot exist without faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Duty cannot exist without faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Noble houskeepers neede no dores. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Noble houskeepers neede no dores.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Macbeth:) How does your patient, doctor? (Doctor:) Not so sick, my lord,  As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26721]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Macbeth:) How does your patient, doctor? (Doctor:) Not so sick, my lord,  As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies   That keep her from her rest.    (Macbeth:) Cure her of that!     Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,      Pluck from the memory of a rooted sorrow,       Raze out the written troubles of the brain,        And with some sweet oblivious antidote         Cleanse the stuffed bosom of the perilous stuff          Which weighs upon the heart?           (Doctor:) Therein the patient            Must minister to himself.             (Macbeth:) Throw physic to the dogs, I'll none of it!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must claim the quoter's privilege of giving only as much of the text as will suit my purpose, said ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4696]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must claim the quoter's privilege of giving only as much of the text as will suit my purpose, said Tan-Chun.
