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.

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[God is seated in the hearts of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57407]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is seated in the hearts of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If things on earth may be to heaven resembled, It must be love, pure, constant, undissembled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25623]]></link><description><![CDATA[If things on earth may be to heaven resembled, It must be love, pure, constant, undissembled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport.
