The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worthiest people are the most injured by slander, as is the best fruit which the birds have been pecking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56566]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worthiest people are the most injured by slander, as is the best fruit which the birds have been pecking at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The King has become a failure in his mission for which he had assumed power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41279]]></link><description><![CDATA[The King has become a failure in his mission for which he had assumed power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm actually a perpetual 13-year-old.
