Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People want riches; they need fulfillment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53368]]></link><description><![CDATA[People want riches; they need fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had I been present at the creation, I would have given some useful hints for the better ordering of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had I been present at the creation, I would have given some useful hints for the better ordering of the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42842]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gold!

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
