If a Livie or a Guicciardine, or such extensive and voluminous authors had had this story in hand, God must have made another world, to have made them a library to hold their books, of the making of this world. Into what wire would they have drawn out this earth! Into what leaf-gold would they have beat out these heavens! It may assist our conjecture herein, to consider, that amongst those men, who proceed with a sober modesty and limitation in their writing, & make a conscience not to clog the world with unnecessary books, yet the volumes which are written by them, upon the beginning of Genesis, are scarce less than infinite. God did no more but say, Let this & this be done; and Moses doth no more but say, that upon God's saying it was done. God required not Nature to help him to do it; Moses required not Reason to help him believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot live by power, and a culture that seeks to live by it becomes brutal and sterile.
