There may appear a marked preoccupation with death and a rejection of all temporal things. To say that this world is in a fallen state and that not too much value must be set upon it, is very far from the Manichaean error of supposing it to be evil throughout. The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys, also redeems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water, air, and cleanness are the chief articles in my pharmacy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water, air, and cleanness are the chief articles in my pharmacy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The consummate pleasure (in eating) is not in the costly flavour, but in yourself.
