God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shall always consider the best guesser the best prophet. [Lat., Bene qui conjiciet, vatem hunc perhibebo optimum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48450]]></link><description><![CDATA[I shall always consider the best guesser the best prophet. [Lat., Bene qui conjiciet, vatem hunc perhibebo optimum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus we see, too, in the world that some persons assimilate only what is ugly and evil from the same ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus we see, too, in the world that some persons assimilate only what is ugly and evil from the same moral circumstances which supply good and beautiful results--the fragrance of celestial flowers--to the daily life of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The New England conscience doesn't keep you from doing what youshouldn't-it just keeps you from enjoying it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21712]]></link><description><![CDATA[The New England conscience doesn't keep you from doing what youshouldn't-it just keeps you from enjoying it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever claims that economic competition represents 'survival of the fittest' in the sense of the law of the jungle, provides ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15800]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever claims that economic competition represents 'survival of the fittest' in the sense of the law of the jungle, provides the clearest possible evidence of his lack of knowledge of economics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do we kill people who are killing people to show that killing people is wrong?

For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, defend me from my friends; I can account for my enemies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord, defend me from my friends; I can account for my enemies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have achieved our leadership position in the teleservices industry by committing to continual development and improvement of our service ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31432]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have achieved our leadership position in the teleservices industry by committing to continual development and improvement of our service offerings, as well as the quality of our call center agents.
