God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65940]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Early on, treating (sleep apnea) was largely a lifestyle issue because people were falling asleep in the day and this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Early on, treating (sleep apnea) was largely a lifestyle issue because people were falling asleep in the day and this would help them feel better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a long road to go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36964]]></link><description><![CDATA[a long road to go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A king ruleth as he ought, a tyrant as he lists, a king to the profit of all, a tyrant ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59954]]></link><description><![CDATA[A king ruleth as he ought, a tyrant as he lists, a king to the profit of all, a tyrant only to please a few.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not aw'd to duty by superior sway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not aw'd to duty by superior sway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43195]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the end of Fame?

Because of the role they have been willing to play, when they use the word God it is heard in a certain way. It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death can't be so bad if mom went through it.
