I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. All the beauty and truth which I had discovered had come to me as a reflection of his beauty, but I had kept my eyes fixed on the reflection and was always looking at myself. But God had brought me to the point at which I was compelled to turn away from the reflection, both of myself and of the world which could only mirror my own image. During that night the mirror had been broken, and I had felt abandoned because I could no longer gaze upon the image of my own reason and the finite world which it knew. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This many-headed monster, Multitude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52461]]></link><description><![CDATA[This many-headed monster, Multitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11549]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really not an invalid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29930]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm really not an invalid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience and fortitude conquer all things ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience and fortitude conquer all things]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I sell liquor, its called bootlegging; when my patrons serve it on Lake Shore Drive, its called hospitality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13012]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I sell liquor, its called bootlegging; when my patrons serve it on Lake Shore Drive, its called hospitality]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no taking trout with dry breeches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59740]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no taking trout with dry breeches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet this climate of peace needs the help of the US and the international community: For without sustained pressure on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet this climate of peace needs the help of the US and the international community: For without sustained pressure on the Israeli government to sit down and negotiate, Israel will only bolster those within Palestinian society who do not share the majority's desire for peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why don't you want to do what you know you should do?
