Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shameful apostasy of Israel is unparalleled among the heathen nations of the world, God charges (Jer. 2:9-13).

Search through every pagan nation, inquire in every idol temple, investigate the religious life of the idolaters of the world, and there will be found a fidelity to these false gods that will put Israel's unfaithfulness to her God to shame. Israel's conduct was unheard of even among the heathen. The idolatrous nations remained true to their gods, in spite of the fact that they did not actually exist and could not help them in any way. God, as it were, marvels at Israel's unbelief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we wish for others determines what we allow for ourselves.

Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to make this place so unpleasant that they won't even think about doing something that could bring them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38224]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want to make this place so unpleasant that they won't even think about doing something that could bring them back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20933]]></link><description><![CDATA[A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The University brings out all abilities, including incapability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60244]]></link><description><![CDATA[The University brings out all abilities, including incapability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life consists not merely in existing, but in enjoying health. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life consists not merely in existing, but in enjoying health.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can seduce a man without taking anything off, without even touching him ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55045]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can seduce a man without taking anything off, without even touching him]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's weird.
