If they have given you God for your object, it has only been to pander to your pride; they have made you think that you were like Him and resembled Him by your nature. And those who have grasped the vanity of such a pretension have cast you down into the other abyss by making you believe that your nature was like that of the beasts of the field, and have led you to seek your good in lust, which is the lot of animals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me that's one of the great indulgences in life - a hand-tailored suit, and a great pair of handmade ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65382]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me that's one of the great indulgences in life - a hand-tailored suit, and a great pair of handmade shoes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nearest the throne itself must be The footstool of humility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nearest the throne itself must be The footstool of humility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They disallowed this and disallowed that, and now I can't even get my head above water! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30858]]></link><description><![CDATA[They disallowed this and disallowed that, and now I can't even get my head above water!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30858</guid></item></channel></rss>
