It is the untroubled that are in danger. Trouble in itself is always a claim on love, and God is love. He must deny Himself if He does not come to help the helpless.

Therefore if you are lost and sick and bound, you are just in the place where He can meet you. Blessed are the mourners. They shall be comforted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cards were at first for benefits designed, sent to amuse, not to enslave the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cards were at first for benefits designed, sent to amuse, not to enslave the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing will work unless you do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing will work unless you do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fire i' th' flint Shows not till it be struck; our gentle flame  Provokes itself and like the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16024]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fire i' th' flint Shows not till it be struck; our gentle flame  Provokes itself and like the current flies   Each bound it chafes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar,--  O, they fish with all nets   In ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10168]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar,--  O, they fish with all nets   In the School of Coquettes!    When her brooch she forgets     'Tis to show her new collar;      In the School of Coquettes       Madam Rose is a scholar!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you.
