Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was luxuries like air conditioning that brought down the Roman Empire.
