Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in being an innovator. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20982]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in being an innovator.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lawyer's dream of heaven: every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24373]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lawyer's dream of heaven: every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from all his forefathers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The battle is over when the foe has fallen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50767]]></link><description><![CDATA[The battle is over when the foe has fallen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love.
