God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a juvenile notion that a society needs a lofty purpose and a shining vision to achieve much.

He has enough light to light him on his way, but there are a great many gaps in his knowledge. When he says, "One day we shall understand", he is by no means always uttering a pious platitude. Quite frequently he is voicing a solid conviction, a genuine facet of hope. At present his vision is severely limited, and that is probably just as well, if his sanity is to be preserved. But when he is free of the limitations of temporal life, he has every hope of being able to know as surely as he is at present known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to decide a difference between enemies than friends, for one of our friends will certainly become an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13840]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to decide a difference between enemies than friends, for one of our friends will certainly become an enemy and one of our enemies a friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eloquence is the power to translate a truth into language perfectly intelligible to the person to whom you speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eloquence is the power to translate a truth into language perfectly intelligible to the person to whom you speak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold, I was shapened in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
