The corollary is that damnation or hell, is the permanent choice of the not-God. God does not (in the monstrous old-fashioned phrase) "send" anybody to hell; hell is that state of the soul in which its choice becomes obdurate and fixed; the punishment (so to call it) of that soul is to remain eternally in that State which it has chosen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never saw a Purple Cow, I never hope to see one;  But I can tell you, anyhow,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10526]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never saw a Purple Cow, I never hope to see one;  But I can tell you, anyhow,   I'd rather see than be one!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skill and confidence are an unconquered army. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56]]></link><description><![CDATA[Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm gonna have to be killed before I lose, and I ain't going to die easy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57710]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm gonna have to be killed before I lose, and I ain't going to die easy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Indian Summer of life should be a little sunny and a little sad, like the season, and infinite in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24998]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Indian Summer of life should be a little sunny and a little sad, like the season, and infinite in wealth and depth of tone, but never hustled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ought never to scoff at the wretched, for who can be sure of continued happiness? [Fr., Il ne se ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42762]]></link><description><![CDATA[We ought never to scoff at the wretched, for who can be sure of continued happiness? [Fr., Il ne se faut jamais moquer des miserables,  Car qui peut s'assurer d'etre toujours heureux?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every Art it is good to have a master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49537]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every Art it is good to have a master.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's another tough loss.

They soon began to boast of their respective superiority to each other in strength and prowess. As they were disputing, they passed a statue carved in stone, which represented a Lion strangled by a Man. The traveler pointed to it and said: See there! How strong we are, and how we prevail over even the king of beasts. The Lion replied: This statue was made by one of you men.

Life is a process of becoming, and the moment of death is the transition from one life to another. Thus it is possible for a Christian to succumb to his own kind of death-wish, to seek that extreme of other-worldliness to which the faith has always been liable, especially in periods of stress and uncertainty. 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[The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52710]]></link><description><![CDATA[The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This new voting initiative hits the issue of a narrow nominations' process head-on and significantly increases the potential for the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33674]]></link><description><![CDATA[This new voting initiative hits the issue of a narrow nominations' process head-on and significantly increases the potential for the widest and most diverse selection of nominees possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of times people look at the negative side of what they feel they can't do.
