Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rich men's houses are seldom beautiful, rarely comfortable, and never original.

I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them, the revelation of God to men was made -- or appeared to be made -- less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided, and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first step towards philosophy is incredulity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46488]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first step towards philosophy is incredulity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is near and our mutual company is short. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is near and our mutual company is short.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee hath no leisure who useth it not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee hath no leisure who useth it not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49427</guid></item></channel></rss>
