And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are going to throw a club, it is important to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57446]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are going to throw a club, it is important to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, so you don't have to waste energy going back to pick it up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13833]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the job of the coaching staff to turn that into a positive.

The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself, and know that everything in this life has purpose.

What heavy burdens from our bosoms take,  What parched ground refresh as with a shower! We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all, the distant and the near, Stands forth in sunny outline brave and clear; We kneel, how weak! we rise, how full of power! Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,  Or other, that we are not always strong, That we are ever overborne with care, That we should ever weak or heratless be, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy and strength and courage are with Thee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ere you consult your fancy, consult your purse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ere you consult your fancy, consult your purse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek and you will find. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek and you will find.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Price fixing does not represent simply windfall gains and losses to particular groups according to whether the price happens to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Price fixing does not represent simply windfall gains and losses to particular groups according to whether the price happens to be set higher or lower than it would be otherwise.
