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[People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23231]]></link><description><![CDATA[People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a woman an inch and she thinks she's a ruler ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a woman an inch and she thinks she's a ruler]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strongest and the fiercest spirit That fought in heaven, now fiercer by despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50657]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strongest and the fiercest spirit That fought in heaven, now fiercer by despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42842]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Killing you is not the worst thing they can do to you,\" I say. \"Controlling you is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66861]]></link><description><![CDATA[Killing you is not the worst thing they can do to you,\" I say. \"Controlling you is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iraq is an unjust war.(spoken on the Diane Rehm Show twice..stated in articles written for NY Times.. printedin USA Today). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Iraq is an unjust war.(spoken on the Diane Rehm Show twice..stated in articles written for NY Times.. printedin USA Today).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better by far that you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better by far that you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the duty of a good shepherd to shear, not to skin his sheep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51563]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the duty of a good shepherd to shear, not to skin his sheep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still early in the game.

The Church must never be in any sense a little huddle of pious people, shutting their doors against the world, lost in prayer and praise, connoisseurs of preaching and liturgy, busy mutually congratulating themselves on the excellence of their Christian experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wanted to see where they had died.
