The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What an alteration of honour has Desperate want made! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51373]]></link><description><![CDATA[What an alteration of honour has Desperate want made!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over all good things certain, this is sure indeed, Suffer not the old King, for we know the breed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over all good things certain, this is sure indeed, Suffer not the old King, for we know the breed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature, the oldest.

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[People always call it luck when you've acted more sensibly than they have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26032]]></link><description><![CDATA[People always call it luck when you've acted more sensibly than they have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46260]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We got a lot of loose balls and tipped rebounds.
