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[The bodies were in such bad shape they said there was no other way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39306]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bodies were in such bad shape they said there was no other way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62328]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.   - Lord Byron (George Gordon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23419]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.   - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only faith that wears well and holds its color in all weathers is that which is woven of conviction ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14977]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only faith that wears well and holds its color in all weathers is that which is woven of conviction and set with the sharp mordant of experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, I cannot approve anything the council has rejected, but I can reject anything the council has approved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, I cannot approve anything the council has rejected, but I can reject anything the council has approved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In true love, there is no mountain too high to climb.
