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... Your principal maladies are pride, which cuts you off from God, and sensuality, which binds you to the earth; and they have done nothing but foster at least one of these maladies. 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[They brought the left-hander to turn Lance around and he came up with a big hit immediately, ...

Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think most historians will agree that the part played by impulses of selfish, individual aggression in the holocausts of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47194]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think most historians will agree that the part played by impulses of selfish, individual aggression in the holocausts of history was small; first and foremost, the slaughter was meant as an offering to the gods, to king and country, or the future happiness of mankind. The crimes of Caligula shrink to insignificance compared to the havoc wrought by Torquemada. The number of victims of robbers, highwaymen, rapists, gangsters and other criminals at any period of history is negligible compared to the massive numbers of those cheerfully slain in the name of the true religion, just policy, or correct ideology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All you need is one stunning pot and one stunning plant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31102]]></link><description><![CDATA[All you need is one stunning pot and one stunning plant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Firmness of purpose is one of the most necessary sinews of character, and one of the best instruments of success. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Firmness of purpose is one of the most necessary sinews of character, and one of the best instruments of success.

But the way to put a stop to this declension is not by accommodating the commands of God to the corrupt courses and ways of men. The truths of God and the holiness of His precepts must be pleaded and defended, though the world dislike them here and perish hereafter. His law must not be made to lackey after the wills of men, nor be dissolved by vain interpretations, because they complain they cannot -- indeed, because they will not -- comply with it. Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them, and to supply men with spiritual strength to fulfill them also. It is evil to break the least commandment; but there is a great aggravation of that evil in them that shall teach men so to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A brother shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66121]]></link><description><![CDATA[A brother shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he really is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53870]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he really is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[desires are dreams,if they are not transformed into deeds.. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/398]]></link><description><![CDATA[desires are dreams,if they are not transformed into deeds..]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cforce does exactly what we need.

Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as war is regarded as wicked it will always have its fascinations.
