But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating, and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a women and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The possibility of rejection was ever present.

St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Simon & Jude, Apostles  The heart of man is revealed in temptation.

Man knows his sin, which without temptation he could never have known; for in temptation man knows on what he has set his heart. The coming to light of sin is the work of the accuser, who thereby thinks to have won the victory. But it is sin which is become manifest which can be known, and therefore forgiven. Thus the manifestation of sin belongs to the salvation plan of God with man, and Satan must serve this plan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When under the pretext of fraternity, the legal code imposes mutual sacrifices on the citizens, human nature is not thereby ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52220]]></link><description><![CDATA[When under the pretext of fraternity, the legal code imposes mutual sacrifices on the citizens, human nature is not thereby abrogated.
