A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't run your own life, somebody else will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1066]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't run your own life, somebody else will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not true that nice guys finish last.
