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[I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22289]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking profile that you need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today's arrests are an attempt to suppress any vocal opposition to the king, or his attempts to win legitimacy by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today's arrests are an attempt to suppress any vocal opposition to the king, or his attempts to win legitimacy by holding elections.

This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I told her it was the best she'd ever played: 1 for 1. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37390]]></link><description><![CDATA[I told her it was the best she'd ever played: 1 for 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those, that with haste will make a mighty fire, Begin it with weak straws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those, that with haste will make a mighty fire, Begin it with weak straws.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It appears I am destined for something; I will live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14498]]></link><description><![CDATA[It appears I am destined for something; I will live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's helpful that I was an athletic director (at Lutheran before John Ragland took over last year).

The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats.
