All your insight only leads you to the knowledge that it is not in yourselves that you will discover the true and the good. The philosophers promised them to you, and have not been able to keep their promises...

If they have given you God for your object, it has only been to pander to your pride; they have made you think that you were like Him and resembled Him by your nature. And those who have grasped the vanity of such a pretension have cast you down into the other abyss by making you believe that your nature was like that of the beasts of the field, and have led you to seek your good in lust, which is the lot of animals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cloath thee in war, arme thee in peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cloath thee in war, arme thee in peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one fastens where there is gaine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one fastens where there is gaine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26620]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first of May doth the last of December.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Haste is slow. [Lat., Festinatio tarda est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Haste is slow. [Lat., Festinatio tarda est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be slow to fall into friendship, but when thou art in, continue firm and constant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be slow to fall into friendship, but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That Raven on yon left-hand oak (Curse on his ill-betiding croak)  Bodes me no good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52979]]></link><description><![CDATA[That Raven on yon left-hand oak (Curse on his ill-betiding croak)  Bodes me no good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coach Bruce Weber told me in a meeting that all I have to do is play pretty well.
