But to be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with such as go contrary to us, is a great grace, and a most commendable thing.  ...

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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great thoughts, great feelings, came to them, Like instincts, unawares. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great thoughts, great feelings, came to them, Like instincts, unawares.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to have loved a short man than never to have loved a tall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2136]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to have loved a short man than never to have loved a tall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt that was my best game as a pro, ...

A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read.
