Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most plans are just inaccurate predictions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most plans are just inaccurate predictions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is sheer folly to tear the hair in grief as if sorrow could be cured by baldness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48846]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is sheer folly to tear the hair in grief as if sorrow could be cured by baldness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11560]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good analogy would be that I don't know any customer who wants their vehicle built in their driveway and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35358]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good analogy would be that I don't know any customer who wants their vehicle built in their driveway and rained on for nine months before they get a chance to sit in it.
