For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We fight not to enslave, but to set a country free, and to make room upon the earth for honest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16720]]></link><description><![CDATA[We fight not to enslave, but to set a country free, and to make room upon the earth for honest men to live in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To pile Ossa upon Pelion. [Lat., Imponere Pelio Ossam.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43319]]></link><description><![CDATA[To pile Ossa upon Pelion. [Lat., Imponere Pelio Ossam.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were it not for imagination, sir, a man would be as happy in the arms of a chambermaid as of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were it not for imagination, sir, a man would be as happy in the arms of a chambermaid as of a duchess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes! to this thought I hold with firm persistence; The last result of wisdom stamps it true;  He only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes! to this thought I hold with firm persistence; The last result of wisdom stamps it true;  He only earns his freedom and existence   Who daily conquers them anew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The little dissatisfaction which every artist feels at the completion of a work forms the germ of a new work ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30112]]></link><description><![CDATA[The little dissatisfaction which every artist feels at the completion of a work forms the germ of a new work]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is happy for you that possess the talent of pleasing with delicacy.

The truth is hardly less the loser because the inquisitor has altered his methods.

And how absurd would it be that in satisfying men you should incur the displeasure of him for whose sake you obey men themselves! The Lord, therefore, is the King of Kings, who, when he has opened his sacred mouth, must alone be heard, before all and above all men; next to him we are subject to those men who are in authority over us, but only in him.
