This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberty can not be preserved without a general knowledge among the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberty can not be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I admit that the generation which produced Stalin, Auschwitz and Hiroshima will take some beating; but the radical and universal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53642]]></link><description><![CDATA[I admit that the generation which produced Stalin, Auschwitz and Hiroshima will take some beating; but the radical and universal consciousness of the death of God is still ahead of us; perhaps we shall have to colonize the stars before it is finally borne in upon us that God is not out there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has grown aged in this world of woe, In deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life.  So ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1725]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has grown aged in this world of woe, In deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life.  So that no wonder waits him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45292]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main difference this year is I feel that I'm more important to the team.
