If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit.

He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That government is best which governs least, because its people discipline themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18031]]></link><description><![CDATA[That government is best which governs least, because its people discipline themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have made decisions that turned out to be wrong, and went back and did it another way, and still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53279]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have made decisions that turned out to be wrong, and went back and did it another way, and still took less time than many who procrastinated over the original decision.
