Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17231]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a deal that started out 24 years ago with three or four of us that were tired of sitting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37670]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a deal that started out 24 years ago with three or four of us that were tired of sitting around watching football games.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always fought for ideas -- until I learned that it isn't ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41500]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always fought for ideas -- until I learned that it isn't ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of vision which enlighten.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more annoying than a low man raised to a high position. [Lat., Asperius nihil est humil cum surgit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5521]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more annoying than a low man raised to a high position. [Lat., Asperius nihil est humil cum surgit in altum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me be clear about this.

How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10785]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is of a very melancholy disposition. -Much Ado about Nothing.
